Terrible setup by venue though.
Not as bad as you make it out to be. It’s not Eastern or Western. But I enjoyed the tournament. There is not many places that have the parking, seating, and the lodgeing to host a tournament like this. 16 teams playing 30 games in 4 days is pretty
Impressive. I get it that the building is built for multiple uses.

Just has nor environment to it. Players felt like at a football game where there's a track around the field so far away from the stands killed it for me. And there were players that would get hurt during the game and they had no medical staff on hand.  Usually tournaments have trainers or doctors that come out and check on players.  Pikeville had a player get hurt and a kids dad who is a doctor had to come out of the stands and access him on the floor.  Just little things like that for me caused it to go down in my likeness for it.  

Also, it being in Corbin is a terrible spot because who wants to go to Corbin? That's not a fault of their own though.
Everything you have mentioned is blame on the All-A, not the venue. The venue doesn’t provide medical staff for athletic events. There’s portable bleachers that are used for the region in the building that make the court much more connected, and sponsors usually fill the floor level with seats. All-A decided not to do that. I can rent out the arena for an event, but it’s not on the arena if i can’t plan an event correctly. 
Other than geographical location, what does richmond have that corbin does not? Rallys? Dunkin’ Donuts?
