Not necessarily. But since you so considerately think of the plight of
the British teams (of which there are more and better than just Oxford
and Imperial, and I hope they'll be able to afford to come over to kick
your whining ass sometime soon), I'd like to back the decision to hold
the ICT in a major city rather than some of the backwaters that I've
seen proposed. When you're travelling as far as the British teams, a
few hours extra on a plane is neither here nor there, but getting
cheaper flights to a major city is considerably easier than somewhere
like Raleigh last year. You don't own this game on the East coast, so
there's no good reason why the rest of the world should always have to
get to your doorstep.

And anyway, you'd better watch your squealing about the possibility of
a British ICT, because I've already done research to show it's no more
expensive to get flights to London for most teams, and I fully intend
to use it to put a bid for a London ICT in 2004.
