| The Pacific Coast Section runs (starting this year) championships in three categories: Senior (all age groups), Junior (U-19 and U-16), and Youth (Y14/12/10).
The Junior and Youth PCCs are opened to bidding by any club or division to host them. It's generally encouraged that they alternate between Northern California and Southern California. However, since Northern California have the most juniors and youth fencers, if it's mostly in Northern California, that's not big shakes.
The Senior PCCs are legislated last year to default to Las Vegas (ka-ching!), unless another club/division has a complete plan for running it by the beginning of the season. So, if Mountain Valley division wishes to run the Senior PCCs, it must give notice before Sept 1 of the new season about where it will be held, when it will be held, how the finances will shape up, who are the LOC members, how are they planning to get the reels and machines and strips, how the plan to return said equipment, contingency plans, etc.
The reason for Las Vegas is because, hey, most peoplel like going to Las Vegas. Second, a lot of the section's equipment are there. Third, Las Vegas has lots of convention space and would love and be able to give available space, which many cities might not be able to.
