    This would have been interesting. Our convention is this coming weekend (17th - 19th Oct) and is being held at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin, New Zealand. At the same time our NZ rugby ITM cup is having its semi final round. Now if the Dunedin home team (Otago) were to host this semifinal, it would have been played at the Forsyth Barr Stadium on the same weekend as the convention. According to the Stadium Management "A window had been secured before the convention was booked to have the ground free for a game to be played at the covered stadium. It was expected to be played on the afternoon or evening of Saturday, October 18". The interesting thing about this is that the convention program for Saturday finishes at 7pm leaving no time to set up for a rugby game that day.

    The Otago rugby team have not make it to the semifinals, if they had it would have made for some interesting fast planning to be made to host both these events at the same time in the same stadium.

    Looks like Jehovah made sure that Otago did not make it to the ITM cup rugby semifinals.

    Perhaps the convention planners could end the convention earlier by leaving out the end of convention waffle and the summing-up, never end prayers and the final speaker who goes over time.
