That is a pretty serious hurdle... As big a problem as sponsors are, the event needs a sponsor. I'm making an effort not to constantly join the threads complaining about the coverage of this WMCCC, not easy to do since I find the coverage aggravating. But next time they need money behind the tournament to start with, and someone who's heard of the internet (now there's a new concept!) to organize it. Was London just flat out the wrong place to hold WMCCC? Pete
