R -

You don't get it, do you??? UH and others don't "decide" when and where these contests are held. They're not in the shadows pulling strings and arranging everything.

They're lucky to get ONE or mayyyyybe TWO sites to volunteer for each nationals. They have to take what they can get, and if the various groups were only willing to hold their events on these dates - then that's what's going to happen.

Spare us your rudeness and venom, especially if you don't understand the system. Better yet - try ACTUALLY volunteering to run events, so that you DO understand.
