At risk of "beating a dead horse"....at least in respect to broaching this topic again! I had a number of conversations at convention with people who would like to see USMS move to a 3rd Championship meet in the fall for short course meters.
There are some great Zone meets going on...when you have 600+ going to Long Beach or New England why not up the ante a bit?
Thoughts?
I don't think we really know how successful a SCM Nationals would be until 'we' try it. If it turns out to be a flop no one will bid and the idea will die a natural death.
It is certainly worth a try, but I suspect a natural death is what would happen. If it was October, I would consider going. I am not really excited to travel to northeast ever but especially not November through March (it's been awhile since I drove in snow...turn in to the skid right?).
Chris' idea of occasional short course meters at spring nationals is best.
