World Cup - Question for Canadians

[jackdaniels]

Any Canadians here participate in the World Cup on Stars? I registered for it thinking it would be cool to represent my country in the finals - and then I saw how many people were thinking the same... I unregistered when it hit 700 or so. I just checked this morning and apparently it ran till 5:30am today (from 8pm last night) - 9.5 hours!!! Does anyone else here think that it would have been better to run a regional qualifier for Canada (as they did for the US)? I counted the entries to the US State qualifiers and it was about 2000 over all (with California having the largest number of entries at 138). Canada had 832 entries - and they all had to battle it out in one tourney (England was the next biggest with 171 - just to give you some perspective).

I just think that sucks.
