I agree.  Bad date.  And bad location.  I've been an ICCA member for a long
while.  I suspect this is coming to an end.  I don't believe that the event
"can't" be put on over here.  It is more "won't be" than "can't be".

Perhaps it is time to make the CCT tournament _the_ big event of the year,
if that's the way the game is played...

As far as dates go, why not Dec24 - Jan 2?  May as well kill _two_ holidays
with one event, not to mention the lack of discounted fares around major
holidays.
