After a lot of negative comments on the location and the number of games per day (although there was a few positive comments) :
"Other possibility : 9 rounds over 6 days from August 18 to 23 in Quebec City, registration fees similar to last year, $10 000 in prizes. Need 200 players to break even".

Both polls showed very strong opposition to the idea (or at least to the chances of success).
That's a shame about The Chantecler. A couple of years ago, I absolutely loved that event. And I'd be a bit surprised if Montrealers would prefer Quebec City over that?
