I know of nothing that prevents us from having a separate team trial, but that would involve yet another contest to organize, and more cost. Frankly, I personally prefer having the team trials at the Nats, because we get all of the top FAI fliers to attend at least once every two years. Given the proximity of this years Nats to the dates of this years WC, we will likely not see our team members at the Nats, and they will be missed.</SPAN></DIV></DIV>
