We held our KMT last year (TOFC) during Mid-October. We usually have it earlier but had to delay (not postpone, it was a planned delay) for internal reasons. The fishing is better for sure - the Kings are close to shore that time of year. The down side for us was that fewer SKA folks fished in it because we were the last tourney most of them were already either qualified for the nationals or had no chance at getting enough points so they didn't fish.
