The problem is that the cup is being held in Richmond, CA. If one looks at where the Craneway Pavilion is on a map: http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&gfns=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=google+map+craneway+richmond,+ca&fb=1&gl=us&hq=craneway&hnear=0x808565e0f15c8c29:0xb3101633da15bff4,Richmond,+CA&sa=X&ei=q2riT6yNCMHFmAXx8ujaAw&ved=0CIsBELYD&iwloc=cids:3838919986498594149,17450614361113155586 The place is FAR away from any foot traffic/public transportation. You need a car to get to it. Last year the cup was actually IN SAN FRANCISCO. Much easier to get to, anyone could have taken public transportation and/or walked to it.
