I understand there were also early bids from Atenveldt and Calontir too. 
It may just be that the Board felt there wasn't enough local support or 
infra-structure in areas that sent bids. It takes alot to host a really 
large event. Economics, facilities, volunteers,...Who knows. I think 
there were lots of people thinking about it, but not alot of collective 
action. It falls right in line with the general participation the last 
couple of years.
