I think you are misunderstanding something.

Some people take this event seriously and want to do well.  Some people make
serious personal and financial decisions based upon the content of these events.

The ICCA owes it to everyone to set the event's parameters in stone some number
of *months* before the event, so people have time to acquire hardware, make
software changes if necessary, book travel at a cheap rate, and the like.

July 7th or whatever was way, way too late to change the event from
single-processor to multi-processor.  August 1st is way, way, way too late to
decide suddenly that there are two parallel events.
