In fact, the most important open in US is played exactly on that date in Philadelphia (The World Open). I asked in a previous message: Why not organizing an American C.C. Open in US soil? A would idea could be to link it to an existing "human" open. Hotels are already reserved etc. It could be like a side event, with people watching etc. What better publicity for some commercial programs? Will the people play? Why do we need sponsors?
