Hi Jeremiah,

I may add that as far as I know the WCCC 2004 is held in Israel because a
student - to name him: Omid - did start everything at his university and then
they did try to get the money for the event. What is wrong with that ? Why is
this not possible in the USA ?
And can you tell me how you define western half of the world on a ball, on a
globe ??? Okay, USA is in the west of europe, but e.g. Japan is in the west of
the USA and Israel is in the west of Japan...

Many stuff here sounds to me like: We will participate at a WCCC - as long it is
held in the USA...

Next one: Think about the W in WCCC -> That means world ! Not only Europe or
USA. What would you do if it is held in say the southern part of Chile ?

And about the to long statement: One of the biggest critics on other WCCC here
was, that they play to less rounds - now we play more round (which is a lot of
fun - amateurs get way more chances to play against commercials) and it is no
good either.

Greets, Thomas
