A couple things came to mind:  first, any contract we sign going forward should have wording that allows for cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances (like CORID).  Second, it is likely there will be implications on the size of tournaments for the next year, if not more--smaller venues might be more in line with our needs.  In any case, we're pushing on to see what we can find for next year.
