| The number of northern competitors is not even close to the southern crowd.
Of course there are other people who manage to come, but those are but a drop of water in the 5 gallon bucket of competitors.
Finals needs to be in the south and it needs to be more friendly(accessible) for the average competitor.

You named like 4 people.. I think Walter is pretty accurate on majority coming from southern states. | |

those teams dieing had something to do with finals location? Lol. I think loud and clear built a team of guys cause finals was across the street yes.. but I'm still not buying that cause finals is down south is why its dead.. hard core guys have and will travel. The issue is those competitors are tired of the bullish.. period.. | |

| this is a hobby for me , it does not bring in enough customers to pay for the time and money that i spend , with usaci it is his buisness...i agree looking at it that way maybe something could/need to be changed , as those who dont adapt generaly fade away/die off ... not every one can afford to take a week off of work to travel from up north to down south nor the other way around , putting it in the middle just makes it fair/even for both , i dont care how you look at it , thats just the damn truth..you cant argue that unless you are just pig headed. | |

We agree. What we're trying to get through your head is that there are a whole lot more people in the south who wont come because of the show being further away than there are up north. End of story. | |

There were also a lot of people from texas who did not come when it was in dallas, texas whined and cried when it was in omaha and said bring it down here and it will be be bigger than ever. look what happened, they couldn't even get a title sponsor and it was the worst finals ever. i know timing venue change etc played into that, but texas, where everyone claims everyone is, and people couldn't make the short drive, yet they can every other weekend of the year for a texas show? There were more people fom outside of tx than inside, am im not talking next door in la, ar, or ok either

wow some one besides me remembers that sht from 3-4 yaers ago . cahd you have been going longer than me i think , are the shows bigger down south?
thank you , do you remember all this from three or four years ago , i dont see any improvement .
i know timing venue change etc played into that, but texas, where everyone claims everyone is, and people couldn't make the short drive, yet they can every other weekend of the year for a texas show?

I told ya about 5 posts ago. But you were busy getting all pissy and cussing at us. Real competitors just don't give a Dung Pile anymore. I'd like to see the guys from drag..and other orgs who want to compete USACI and don't ONLY based off location .. | |

| i dont agree with the first post , i dont think the date and location are needed this early . it is not as easy as you may think for ralph to make this happen , unless he has sponsors to secure a location that will work for the judges as well as the crystall ball to see into the future . i do think moveing it every year for the last few years is not helping .
and the only reason i am argueing about the central location is that it makes sense .
do i agree with all the rules , no but that is how it is , as far as other orgs , i am sure this is not the only one suffering... | |

We are 6 months into the Season.. less than that until around whenever finals would normally be. And what makes sense is have your finals where the majority of your weekly competitors are.. and hope they show. OK...maybe it didn't pan out. But your talking like move to KC and we will instantly have stacked classes again. And your wrong. RE read your last sentence ... | |
