Danny, I'm pretty sure it's actually every six months... the same stuff gets worked over prior to the NAT's and when the NAT's event schedule is announced. I've been subscribed to the exchange about 18 months and this is the 3rd time these "old chestnuts" have been dragged out for discuss

Yep, but guaranteeing a individual and team medal is not a sure thing. Numbers do guarantee continued support. And once you have lost support it is almost impossible to get it back. The question is: Do you want the USA to field a team for the "REAL" WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS? Shouldn't the nationals
