Default I wouldn't call it hate

if you don't like the idea of under one roof. With anything you are going to get pros & cons.

This thing would be bigger than just asking for support. Tourney reps who usually drive everything they need to run their tourney would now have to frieght the show to go on the road.
Would you have to pay for each tourney separately?
What about the tourney that usually gets 20-30 coaches, but because there is a show that most of those coaches never played in, they choose it. That would be a big hit! Would you be able to say to played your best game, when you know you are up in another tourney in 15 mins, but you still have a half to be played in the tourney you are in?
You had coaches feeling the time squeeze at the Brawl after the lights went out. How would you get a chance to see the other styles when you have to play your game?
Would everything be held in the same room? How would announcements be made?

As a coach/player, yes I would like to have to travel once. We have to put the shoe on the other foot as a organizer. What kind of hit would they be looking to take if it flops? Yes, you probably would have a big crowd, but would coaches be focused on the games? Would you take quanity or quality?
No I'm not hating, I'm just asking some serious questions. I like the idea, and I don't like the idea.
Overall, I think that each tourney would have to be toned down, or cut short to the point that you wouldn't be getting the full atmosphere, or feeling that you were at that particular event.
