Hi,

I agree with Tucker.

The RoboCup World Championship is typically co-located to big soccer events
or well-known conferences. Therefore, its dates depend on other events as
well as on the availability of adequate sites. An event that costs up to 3
Mio $ has to follow certain constraints.

Actually, I liked the date of RoboCup 2001 in Seattle the most (mid-August).

Best regards
