Alright. I'm sure it will be a great event. My point is only this: The NAF18 organization tried to coordinate and schedule around other major events and we should all try to do this for the good of the sport. I don't see any evidence where HCA reciprocated the effort put forth by the NAF18 organization for scheduling 2006. The same scheduling issues arised with Spring Fever (F18 Southeastern Championships) this year and the Performance Nationals/Nacra F18 Worlds took place within a week of the F18 NA's as well. I agree that conflicts will often be unavoidable but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't TRY to avoid them. It would be nice if we could all come to the table together when scheduling these major things. Who knows, perhaps the NAF18 NA's could have moved a bit had the proper people been informed early enough - clearly it's too late now. I'll leave the thread alone now.
