For the same $50, you can get an excellent hotel in the Orlando area, rental cars can be had for under $100 per week at that time of year. No parking or traffic problems. Good attractions outside the tournament. Good weather in October. And perhaps if the ICCA were to approach Disney, they would sponsor it for the added tourist attraction value. If they did then ABC news would probably do some segments on it since they are owned by Disney. Also airfares from Europe are relatively cheap to Orlando. Last year I checked, and it was cheaper from London than from Portland, Oregon, where I live. It would be no problem to have it shown live on the ICC or FICS, as well. kp
