Yes, I participated in about 14 different events over the course of the week and I have served as GameMaster for Puerto Rico, one of the largest events the past five years. Title Bout was on the agenda (it had been part of the Avalon Hill AvalonCon convention that was the predecessor to WBC) until a few years ago when it didn't make the cut (events are added and deleted based on prior's years attendance plus a membership vote every December). For complete information, here is the website for the group that runs it:

A bit of irony -- Lancaster where the WBC is held is original hometown of one Floyd Landis, the soon to be defrocked TdF winner. It was the final weekend of WBC that his positive B sample rest was announced, and driving out of town past a major shopping center they still had a "congratulations Floyd Landis" banner hanging there.

I will try to get back to these reports in a day or two. I may also be posting something on the WBC at the Boardgamegeek.com website, which is the premier discussion forum as well as database for boardgames.
