[NSRCA-discussion] Speaking of the 2011 Worlds at Muncie . . . . .

[seefo at san.rr.com]

We bid on, and won the right to host the WC in 2011. EVERYTHING ELSE must take a back seat to that event. The WC must be the priority and concessions or compromises to the WC due to the Nats simply cannot happen. If people can't fly in the Nats AND work the WC, then they shouldn't fly in the Nats.

IMO they should be completely separate, unrelated calendar events. If you try to shoehorn them into one long stretch, something will lose out. Either Nats competitors won't be able to practice, or worse, WC competitors won't because of people practicing for the Nats.

Do the WC right, so that people will leave with a great memory of Muncie, the AMA, the NSRCA, and their time spent here in the USA.
