Wouldn't that be people they think will give them the answer upon which they've already settled?

If you have enough committees you can do anything you like because somewhere, sometime one of the committees recommended whatever it is you decide to do.
Who serves on the committees is totally immaterial.

I always thought the minutes where only there to convince the committee that they had achieved something. Well that and to function as a chew toy for the alpha personality type on the committee.

You have GOT to be kidding me.
2 NAC's in Portland, 2 years in a row, the closest that a National tournament will ever get to me, and as far as I can tell, the closest one has been in years, and they're both Div 1!?!?!
That gives me a year to go from U-A. Jerks.
..... Or, a C, I guess. Still not terribly realistic.

Exercise your voting rights in May for more NACs closer to home and more quality bouting opportunities!

| No can do. I'm 17, and therefore not a voting member of the USFA.

I used to take shelter from nuclear bombs under my desk at school. I'm more likely to miss the 2012 NACs because I have arthritic knees or I've been hit by a bus than because the Apocalypse finally decided on a due date.

Also did anyone else notice that there are two NACs in Feb next year? I am tired even thinking about it. Hope someone does not try to schedule an SYC on the weekend between.

| NAC E, you mean? I guess that means those of us unworthy of NCAAs will have more opportunities to be senior, if we can go. | |

| Yes NAC E... It's regionals though, not Championships... you would have been a superstar compared to some of the refs at the regional I ran.
