Its clear... the biggest kiting event entries pools are for long distance open format races.
All equipment allowed, minimum levels of experienced, pros vs amateurs.

Why are there not more of these events? They are mostly run by volunteers with corporate sponsors coming in at the end and plastering their brand all over it. The effort required by the volunteer organisers is massive and is usually underestimated.
Agreed 100%. Its a challenge in itself just to understand what is required to put on an event. You can pretty research anything on the net, but very little info is put out about what it takes to pull an event together, somebody like Tim's team, or the Sail events would pretty much have a chek they work through each year, fair enough this is their very hard IP and its theirs to keep.
Its easier to know what the effort is if if you have a line of sight on the actual challenge of putting an event on. This is where a central point would be great to help support with actions plans etc.
