    On the local front, I do think weather plays a part in the decline of some games. As an example Livermore gets too damn hot, and there is next to no public shade. Pleasanton can be just as hot, but the organizers at least understand the need to provide shelter.

    Best regards,

    I hear you. I went to the games in Pleasanton in 2007 to compete in piping. It's hot in Houston, but I'm not used to playing the pipes outdoors in 100F+ temps. I practiced in the shade at 2 the day prior to acclimate. Thankfully though, my comps did not go beyond noon.
