Wizards of the Coast. Remove PES from your GP Organizer's Short List

The Issue

Today, Professional Event Services (PES) has once again proved why they are one of the worst event organizers in North America. 

After their legendarily abysmal run at GP Pittsburgh, which featured such highlights as musical chairs for bathroom genders, two hours between rounds and charging people for side events that never fired; they were given GP Detroit to Run. 

Reports from Day 1 are unanimous. Between the Detroit stream being inaudible, to audio failures in announcing events, to allegedly assaulting players who complained, PES has shown they are not a company that Wizards of the Coast wants representing them. 

And PES still has one event on the books for this year. This year's only Legacy GP,  GP Columbus. 

Wizards of the Coast, the community speaks loud and clear. Members of your own staff have spoken out against PES on mediums such as Twitter and Reddit. Stop PES from running GP Columbus. Give the event to someone else to run lest yet another event is ruined by the incompetence of PES. Or if it is truly too late to give the event to someone else, at the very least prevent PES from ever organizing and event of this scale again.
