One last point, that goes directly to Tinman. If you wanted a tournament with more Americans, choose a weekend that won't **** their wallets next time. Everything is already more expensive for them to come here since our dollar is higher. Why would you choose a weekend where everything pretty well doubles in price?
Because I figured that the weekend would give people an easier time to get here since people would have a day off (typically it gets pushed to Monday if it's on the weekend). There are also more attractions available to show the people who are foreign to Toronto.
This has proven to be a rather tough situation in some cases and I do agree that the prices of several modes of transportation have been drastically increased for this holiday. This is a mistake on my part, but at this point I have 2 options. Get depressed and cry myself to sleep, or turn my weaknesses into my strengths and host an amazing tournament.
Registration has been extended to the day of but if you still choose not to go then you'll be missing out on quite the experience imo.
