I am not sure what the autocrats thought about the event but I know that 
the Kingdom has treated it as a regional event administratively for the 
past four years at least.  It works well as a regional event, possibly the 
best in the Kingdom.  It is definitely the longest running successful 
regional event in the Kingdom.  I know that I used it as the example and 
benchmark whenever I spoke to people on how to do a regional event.
