New Dates for Future National Championships?

[Eric Roussin]

Next year's Nationals will be held over the Canada Day weekend, because the Worlds will be held in September. It looks like in 2013 the Nationals may need to be held earlier as well.

Because it looks like there is a trend of World Championship hosts wanting to hold their events in September rather than November/December, do you think it may be time to change the standard dates for Nationals? Canada Day may not be ideal because it can fall on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, and so in these years it would not be a three day weekend. What does everyone think of Victoria Day weekend?

Many provinces would need to readjust their circuit schedules, but I think that may be better than constantly readjusting from year to year.

What do you think?

no , aw also have lives and families , and must spend time with then , and then that change would move all other teaditional tourny. dates . some are there because they work for the promoter , such as a good draw of talent and spectators , in the end you will end up with less going to worlds , unless there is an exemption .
