The people running it are trying to help Louisville and cities along the river, you can not have a tournament at the OTHER end of the state if you want to promote people coming to Louisville, and Carrollton and Northern Kentucky, and to the small towns along the river.

You said it elsewhere this has to be a whole river event. So why cut off two of the larger populated areas on the river and Western KY altogether?
I understand last year there was poor attendance down here, but I talked to several hard core tourney guys last year that knew nothing about it. And then this year poof sorry this is a Louisville, Northern KY event.
