ESPN: Great Outdoor Games will not be staged in 2006.

The log rolling community was discouraged to learn that ESPN was
"postponing" its award-winning outdoor event, the Great Outdoor Games.
Through its development of the GOG, ESPN has proven that log rolling
has the legs to get strong ratings, so the announcement was a surprise
to many. Whatever the reasons behind the decision, we hope that
ESPN is serious about revamping the Games and that log rolling will be
front and center. The International Log Rolling Foundation wil continue
its work to develop log rollers world wide, providing exciting
television content for broadcasters everywhere.
