Diamond Cup Still Owes For Security

The company that provided crowd management and security manpower at last year’s Diamond Cup hydroplane races didn’t get paid by event organizers. Randy Scott, director of operations for Portland-based Starplex Corp. which does business as Crowd Management Services, said CMS has asked the Diamond Cup organizers to pay a reduced settlement amount to close the books on the outstanding debt. “We’re hoping something works out,” Scott said Wednesday. He declined to give specific dollar figures for either the full debt or the settlement offer amount. Diamond Cup president Doug Miller on Wednesday described the settlement offer as “pretty attractive.” “We’re well aware of who and what we owe funds to,” Miller said/ David Cole , Coeur d’Alene Press.

Question: Is this another sign that the 2014 Diamond Cup may be in trouble?
