Just wanted to bring this thread to an end and address the issues that have come up. First I did contact my Regional Director and he did discuss the issue at the last meeting in an informal manner. His feedback indicated that the Site selection Committee did not think there would be an impact (even though I now know of five participants that would make the trip to Hobbs; potentially impacting our contest by 10 to 20%, depending on the number of contestants). I also want to indicate that the SSA did ask us if we would object to separating Sports and Club Class. We concurred with that action; not ever thinking the dates would fall on top of one another (I suspect our response would have been different had we known).
I appreciate UH responding to some of the comments and taking some unexpected and unnecessary hits. Sean, we did look at alternate dates and felt we had picked the best possible dates to hold a Nationals within a fairly narrow band of weather and opportunity. The dates for both contests will stay the same so come on out to the best midwest soaring possible at the 2015 Sports Class Nationals at CCSC.

PS. Does anyone know how to get rid of the (me)? It doesn't change when I modify the profile.
