If it wasn't for the ICGA, I bet there would actually be decent coverage :)

Let's face it. As long as the WCCC/IPCCC is held over in Europe and controlled
by the ICGA there will never be the coverage that is needed.

If these events must have the requirement of the people being in attendence,
then why not get a hall, put a damn internet connection in it, have all the
participants connect to ICC, use a tomato bot to run the tournament, and _zero_
operator interference. Simple.. and effective.

Everything would be automated, coverage would be there, and all the spectators
will need to find something else to bitch about..

Maybe we can resume the whole "Why isn't there a tournament in North America?"
debate? They were _always_ fun :)
