Last week, ISC II VP Jim Williamson and I traveled to Quad Cities for further site inspections, checking on venue options, being involved in a media event and being a part of our regular "host checklist" meetings with their tournament committee heads and Sport s Commission.The trip also included meetings with personnel from both headquarter hotels and the awards vendor.All in all it was a successful and productive trip for all concerned.
Jim and I, along with attending Wayne Fisher, Pat Sullivan, Bret and Gary Baughman and Quad City Host Team manager, Steve Kaiser and ISC Player Rep Sean Marten, that trying to use 4-diamonds in the original World Tournament complex would be both dangerous to spectators and players and create a very unworkable atmosphere in the one-room pressbox.
