Attendance wasn't a problem here, nor prize money really - even the hired gun said so. Their issue was control of the production, which OEG wanted a slice of.

The mistake, I think, will be in sponsorship. Smaller market will equal smaller deals possibly.

That and availability of hotel rooms will also be less in S'toon. Too, OEG was planning to partner CFR with another event - which it plans to run anyway, meaning competition that hasn't previously existed.

But, as said, I hope it works out for them despite my non-cheery predictions.
