Maybe the week-long tournaments are different, but one stark difference I would point out are the championship games. At the Memorial Day Tournament in Pigeon Forge, teams and their families cleared out after they were eliminated. At CDP, all of the teams are still there and the stadium is packed, creating a very memorable experience even if your team is just watching.

I wouldn't say "all" all the teams are still there. A lot of teams are still there on Thursday because of the way it's scheduled but maybe 50% stick around, maybe 10% go to the championship game and the bugs there are so bad people don't stick around. Buggiest place I've ever been.
