Sigh.  All right:

Pros:
1. All of Warlord fits there.
2. A large list field,
3. Parking for over 600,
4. Camping for over 400,
5. An air-conditioned hall big enough for court,
6. Nearby hotel rooms for over 200, that are normally empty on a holiday 
weekend.
7. A safe archery range,
8. A big enough place for equestrian events (and the right to have horses 
onsite),
9. the right to drink alcohol, and
10. enough showers for 400.

These are all absolute requirements.  If any one of them is missing, the 
site is unacceptable for Warlord.

Further pros for Canton:
11. We don't have to construct showers.
12. The owners bend over backwards to please us.
13. It's easy to drive through, for set-up purposes.
14. Electricity and water available at almost all camping locations.
15. Good quality restrooms.
16. Several good restaurants nearby.

Cons of Canton:
1. Modern, mundane site (see numbers 3, 5, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16, 
above).
2. Most of the safe camping in not shaded.
3. People who choose shade over safety, and therefore don't camp above the 
obvious flood lines, are at risk.
4. Security issues with the locals (see 13, above).
