[MR] Permanent Site for Crown Tourney

[David Ritterskamp]

Amen.  People can gripe and complain all they want, but when time comes to actually PUT IN A BID, there's hardly anybody to be found.

 

Solve it one way (put in more bids so there's actually a CHOICE of bids to accept vs. accepting the one bid that showed up), or solve it the other (nail down a permanent site so that the lack of bids is academic.)  The status quo (scrambling around with sometimes just weeks to go before an event that HAS to happen) is ludicrous.

 

It's that simple, folks.  Do you think HRMs (and lots of other people) would be trying to find a solution if the current situation didn't demand it?  They can't FORCE people or groups to put in event bids, so they're going with the solution that seems to have the best chance of working.  If you've got a better solution I'm sure They'll listen, but picking apart the only solution anybody's found so far is kind of useless.

 

Regards

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. -Niccolo M.
