Next year's regionals

[danforth]

Have their been thoughts about where next year's Eastern Regionals might be held?

At this point I would like to hold one regional that is sponsored by NADAC, and quite a number more that are done in conjunction with a clubs trials.

We're working out details now

I'm just wondering if you have made any progress concerning Eastern Regionals for 2018.  Not pressuring, just need to know how much and when I need to put in for vacation.  Thanks

[Chris Nelson]

Regionals for 2018 are going to be done a little differently. 
There will be multiple events, all held in conjunction with a normal clubs trial.

So we'll have two on the east coast, one south and one north.
Once we get it worked out with the clubs we'll announce which trials

Will they be at the same time as Champs?  So they have to be indoors?

No the absolute latest a regional will be for 2018 is July.

The regionals are qualifying events for the Championships.    So the requirements are just that you're in Elite Regular

So does that mean there won't be any pre-elite at Champs?

There will be Pre-Elite.

But Regionals will not be a qualifying event for them.   The qualifications for Pre-Elite are already pretty low,  so I don't think we need a qualifying event for them it

Now this is interesting! Kinda sounds like we will have to go to a Regional in order to try to qualify for Champs!?!?  But I get it, it's a secret for right now!

 Not really!   Just have to hit more trials the qualifications for champs won’t include being at a regional.

Any chance you might define your version of north?

Haha at this point we will probably do one in Calgary as well.

Basically we'll try to hit the northern and southern parts of each section of the country, so West, Central and East.   + Calgary

[danforth]

Any idea when these dates and or places will be defined?
