[NSRCA-discussion] 2020 Nats poll

[Dr. Mike Harrison]

When I did the Nats in 2017, the privileged spot pertained only to the year of the Blytheville Nats.  There really was no such special spot.  That mentality was created to justify the dates we were given.  We were welcomed and encouraged to spread the Nats around  to promote AMA and allow more participation and exposure to AMA and pattern competition.  This is a case of distorting and perversing the issue. 

 

It would have been dependant on the NSRCA leadership to insure we had a better time than where this is now.  This is not cast in stone at this point and there is still a chance to make a change.   This is where Nsrca needs to go to bat for the organization.  We make a significant financial contribution to the Nats and efforts need to be made to accommodate the pattern community.  If the SIGS are running the Nats then they need to be able to make input. It is important that our NSRCA president and officers fight for us.

Not to be a righteous defender of the AMA, but I agree with Larry on this one.   We were well aware that not taking a coveted date during July would result in another group having first right of refusal.  We would expect the same if the roles were reversed.  We’re just going to have to make due.   Unfortunately I do think this will have a serious impact on participation.

I don't intend to participate in the NATs. With that said... 

 

Wasn't the risk of losing a preferred date in Muncie part of the discussion when we chose to attempt improving participation by moving the NATs out of Muncie every other year?

 

If this is the case, it isn't punishment and leadership didn't fail us. It is what we have today and it was the risk we chose to take.

 

My .02, I could be wrong
