There are plenty of >others. - To organize such a tournament will take months of your time. - You need many other people. - You must be able to find sponsors. - You need to find Pc's for the participants. - Arrange the hotels, flights, a tournament location, the dinner. - 20,000 emails :)) with the participants. - etc. etc. Levy and a few others do that for you. They should receive praise instead of criticism. I don't think you will find 'others' who can do that job so easily. To find sponsors you need to have some talents, Levy obviously has it as he manages every time. You will not find a second Levy so easily. About the money... It's indeed very unwise the ICCA sticks to the entry fee. I am sure the $1000 entry fee (only from a few participants) is a small matter on the total budget. They easily can afford without $3000-4000 IMO... I see no reason to fire the ICCA, I see the following improvements: 1.. Quit the amateur/professional subject totally. Only participants. 2.. One or two programmers in the board. - Ed - >Chris
