Hi I've read the thread concerning the WCCC2003 in Graz and I think both sides have good points. (I just wish they'd listened more to each other ;) I have some questions/remarks though: (1) Would you guys (esp. from the US) prefer it if the WCCC event would be held over the internet in general or once in the US, once in Europe or something like that? (2) In case such events would be held over the internet, how would you make sure that cheating is not likely to happen? I think Russell suggested little 'hubs' around the world (like in Europe, US, Asia, Australia, etc) so that everyone can participate in the event but there would be some sort of control. I think that's a very interesting idea, although it seems to be very hard to actually do it since it requires a lot of organization and costs money. While I think the measurements against cheating in the upcoming CCT-event are reasonable, it seems obvious to me, that one has to do more than that if the 'importance' of the event is higher. (3) I believe there is enough interest in CC-tournaments in the US. But I have to ask the simple question: Why aren't there any? I mean, in Europe it's noth just WCCC, it's also Leiden, it's Paderborn, and maybe some others too. What tournament is held in the US? There has to be a reason for it. It's not lack of interest, it's not lack of sponsors, so what is it? (this is not meant as a flame, but as a serious question :) Sargon
