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

[Derek Koopowitz]

If anyone has been reading my articles in the K-Factor you will see that we
have been looking for an event manager for the WC's for almost 6 months
now... no one has stepped forward.

I've seen some comments on this list from several people that obviously know
what it takes to run a world championship so my challenge to you all is this
- step up and take the event manager job and run the event the proper way.
If you don't want to be the event manager for the event (not CD it but plan
it) then please offer your services to help plan the event with the selected
event manager so that it can be the best world championship.  The Nats is a
standalone event and will remain as such.  It has its own event director and
core group of volunteers that help each and every year.
