Is it going to be an open or a closed competition ?
I don't promise at all that I'll come, but I guess that you might have
some canadian guys who would be interested in that championship.
Just a thought.
Just a small note : hotels in Las Vegas are quite cheap, what's
expensive is the casino :D
Congratulations Tyson for this organisation that looks like a quite big event.
Have fun !
