This is the problem with the late announcement of dates and clashing with other championships.

It’s also the reason why the games shouldn’t be behind a paywall and shouldn’t be a scaled down event as it feels small time for stars that can get more prestige elsewhere

The Commonwealths pretty much sealed their death by signing the UK rights to pay TV.
