as for update, seems like other challengers fall out of the schedule

really alarming
Not sure what I mentioned last time, but the calendar is up to March now, and these events are not scheduled (and were in 2012):
*Kazan
*Florianopolis
*Casablanca
*Santiago
*Guadalajara
*Pingguo
*Rabat
*Bath
*Barranquila
The only new event is this Austrian one
At least Sao Paulo money goes up from 35K to 125K!!! And Michael Russell is the top commitment so far.
