Seeing as how many think that the name World Championship is out of sorts I will
bite and change the title. Bruce Moreland came up with it in another post here
and I actually like it. With that said here is a little something more to chew
on.

1. What is the preferred time control?

a) 40/2
b) G/90
c) 60/2
d) Something else. ( Please state )

Please remember the more rounds the better. I prefer the G/90.

2. Authors must attend. I agree operators are fine but the fact remains people
won't come if it is all operators.

3. What is the preferred month of play next year. I like August. Please state
your best time to play.

4. If I were to get a sponsor to cover the airfare of some of the participants,
what number should I be shooting for?

a) 5
b) 10
c) ?? ( Name the number )

5. Each participant will have the choice to be involved in the "Guest Speaker"
section. This was brought up by Robert Hyatt where a programmer would tell
something weird or ironic about their beasts. I liked the idea of it, so let's
run with it. Time limit will be 7 mins per entrant, 3 mins Q&A.

6. Beer is a must. Maybe some scotch :)

7. I will attempt to get the event sanctioned by the ICCA.

Anything else I should be addressing here?

Kevin.
