I just will not spend almost a year of my time organizing an event just to have someone in the wood work trying to sabotage it. On a side note I will not post the emails here. That is not my style. But I will say that 75% of them came from out European counter-parts. Since I slept on what happened yesterday I have come to a few conclusions: 1. People were just trying to push a few buttons.. trust me they did. 2. Some European's do not want a _successful_ tournament here. I am sure you can easily see why. If we were to told a massive event here it would look bad that only 20 participants show up there. 3. Maybe I should just continue and do what I want. Which is hold the event. I seem to have support from the University of Alberta game group. That surely will go a long way to not only having a venue for the event, but also in support to organize it. Kevin.
