There is a proposal pendiing to require Nationals be held "at venues located within the boundaries of USMS." If adopted, it would preclude Puerto Rico's bid.
How do we feel about it?
Must be part of a larger conspiracy to keep Nationals on the west coast ...
I believe the limit proposal was submitted by a group from the west coast.
Regardless,
The last several years, fewer and fewer facilities/LMSCs have bid for national meets. It seems suspicious to me that folks are only now coming out of the woodwork to bid for the 2010 meet when they've known for over a year about it. If we can't get our own LMSC's to put together worthy bids in a timely fashion, why not farm out our biggest meet once and see what happens for bids down the road? If people really don't want non-USMS bodies bidding for our meets, then they'll need to step up to the plate and put together a bid themselves.
Aside from not having a USMS sanction, is there really any good, unselfish reason not to have the meet there?
