You may see lack of prestige as a problem, but most of the participants couldn't
care less.  They are too busy having a good time!

You have a point regarding rules, and these should be clarified for the next
CCT.  But if you look closely you might find that the rules for ICCA events
aren't 100% well defined either :-)

Only a minoriy have ISP problems, and this number becomes smaller and smaller.
