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.
