Wrong, again. Core never means majority, never has. The core is the smaller but central part, not the majority. Pick up an apple if the concept remains foreign. You will frequently hear that a group that alientates it's core is in dire straights.
I'm with gull80, proud to be part of the core that trains hard and competes. I would also hazard a guess the core group does more for USMS than the rest by promoting the sport, flying to meets, participating in non USMS events and talking up USMS, etc. It's that 20% that does 80% of the heavy lifting, pretty much the case across any organization, matter of fact it is referred to as the 80/20 rule.
So, you decide, take the 20% out that do meets and bust their butts for USMS in return for 20% of noodlers who will do absolutely nothing for us. Pick one.
