[Tango-L] Tango World Championship

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Out of sight, out of mind.

It's actually word-of-mouth that is most effective at
getting people out and about, moreso than websites.  Around
here, websites are used for reference but it is definitely
word-of-mouth that people rely on for their
decision-making.

So if preliminary rounds in Miami are held a 20 hour drive
from where I live in Pennsylvania, I am not going to hear
about it because I do not really care about what happens in
Miami.  If preliminary rounds were in DC, which is only 4
hours away (and very little tango between Pgh and DC), I
may hear about it.  This is where size matters.
