I certainly am of the opinion that this competition should count at this point, assuming there is a real intention to show up on the part of the people who have signed up.
You are right, Mike, the wording does give a bit of flexibility. I've spoken with the board about this competition, from before i announced it, to give them full disclosure on what the turn out may be. I didn't want any surprises. While i feel that if we had 11, we could possibly work something out with the board, it is not something i really want to do. So if we can avoid getting to that point, i will be much happier.
To be honest, i am of the opinion that you shouldn't hold a competition somewhere that doesn't have enough people to really warrant it. The "why" of course is a longer discussion.
I am holding this competition because i was approached by a company here in Canada to do so. And their offer was good enough that i viewed it as a chance to bring cubing somewhere new in Canada, so i didn't want pass it up. My goal, of course, is to plant the seed for a viable self sustaining community, much like i did with Vancouver. But my feeling is that the east coast will likely take more time than BC.
