That is David's point. ICC had an idea of making a tournament like this once. Fine, but I saw in this forum that the initiative this time came from people here (James in particular). Therefore, the tournament could have been organized in any server. If ICC was more convenient, ok, but chess programmers do not have to run the run the show and sell the popcorn at the same time :-) Besides, chess programmers are not getting any money, so they are free to choose and change.
