Its not that easy though, the owners would need a huge bone thrown their way because the one thing the Olympics has going for it is prestige. Without prestige all you've got is the World Championships.

Sorry my use of the word "annual" was generic, liberal and completely unrelated to the correct use of the word. I mean a tourney held regularly, every year, every second/third/fourth year. So looks like we do agree.
