2011 USA competition schedule ?
I'm looking for a complete list of all USA competitions
for 2011, including those with tentative dates. Lots of major upcoming meets are not listed on SSA site (18m nationals, open nationals, Uvalde pre-worlds). Can anybody point me at this info ? Thanks, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric" |

Thanks again, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric" |

UH Aha! That's the piece I was missing when I asked the question about process a while back. I didn't realize that it all goes to the SSA BOD to vote on the schedule (which isn't pointed out on the SSA web page, I'll note). I assume the pre-worlds will be connected to the 18M Nats somehow, to take advantage of resources available? It looks like the European championships gear up in July so June dates make sense. -- Matt |

UH Yeah, one or two of us racers still have jobs, and yes, it can take a year of advance notice to keep two weeks free. Posting the tentative schedule ahead of approval would really help, and I hope Linda and the site selection committee will be able to do that next year. John Cochrane |

John Cochrane- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I agree with John. As a still working for a living airline pilot I have to bid for my vacation weeks 1 year prior. Not having even a tentative schedule makes the process very difficult. I guessed on the Uvalde Super Regional dates and guessed wrong. I'm not sure what the big secret is when it comes to posting the "Tentative/Draft" upcoming contest dates and sites. WR |

2011 USA competition schedule ?
I have the same scheduling issues with my daughters school. A better
solution would be to be confirming the 2012 schedule at this autumn's BOD meeting so that there is 18'ish months between the final published schedule and the first event. I attend business conferences that know their dates for the next 2 or three years. Makes planning much easier. On the other side, I am very sympathetic to everyone involved in this process. It is a lot of work and getting sites to commit 9 months ahead of time is hard enough. Two plus years may be impossible. |

Organizers have the same issue(s) as competitors; need as much lead time as possible. Too many politics being played out by the selection committee and IMO if this continues it will be yet another contributing factor to the decline of participants and organizers. |
