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. bruce
