The Summer Nationals meet is a wrap! I competed and watched from start to finish, and thought it was very well run at a beautiful facility. Appreciations as always to the dedicated people who sacrifice a lot of time before and during to make these events possible. There was some controversy and frustration before the meet however, well documented on the 2026 Summer Nationals event cap thread. After competing, watching and communicating I have some constructive recommendations for modifications for how 200 and over event caps (if needed) and a related issue, seeding, are handled. I plan to post them on this thread and email them to the championship committee in the near future. Before I do, however, I would like to learn what perspectives others might have and what if any changes the championship committee are considering. There has been no new post since the meet. Is event caps at Nationals no longer an issue? Because of location it might it be Deja Vu all over again for Irvine next Spring. Also, time is a bit of the essence as the USMS annual meeting is September 18 to 19. I’ll hone my thoughts a little while longer while I wait to see if any other perspectives come in. Here is my email if you want to contact me directly, rogershardy@gmail.com, but I think this is a great forum. Finally, USMS has posted a meet survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/97DXC85. I’ll take my survey after hearing from anyone who wishes to post on a USMS community thread or email me.
