That would be pointless.Hhehe On the other hand I would love to get together 8-10 people, and try to make next year's tournament State side, or even in Canada, where internet is the cheapest in the world. We have many locations, and I would love to help set one up. If $50,000 would get it up and running, I am sure I could find a sponsor to help with this. In fact, the owners of West Edmonton Mall here is Edmonton Albert Canada, have a son named Alanzo, who is a HUGE computer chess fan. We often get together and match our computers together. Seeing how he has the better computer ( Quad system ), I usually lose badly. I am sure we could have the tournament in the Hotel ( Has HUGE function rooms, and is internet ready, as I asked last night ), and have great coverage. There is also the Hotel MacDonald, one of the best hotels in Canada, that is great and internet ready ( I know this as I worked there as a purchaser ). Many options, and sponsorship would not be a terribly big deal I wouldn't think.
