Anyone have a sneak preview on dates/sites for next year's US
nationals (or regionals) beyond what's on the SSA site so far?
Picking vacations next week...
Thanks in advance,
Erik

My understanding is Sports Nationals will be about the end of June in
Parowan. Dates still not fixed to work around other contests but will
be either last two weeks of June or last of June and first of July.

This just in from Linda Murray.
All subject to BOD approval, but not likely to be changed by BOD.
15M - Mifflin - practice 5/11, contest 5/12- 5/21
Sports- Parowan- practice 6/16-19, contest 6/20-29
18M and Std- Montague- practice 6/24-25 , contest 6/27-7/5
Open- Minden- practice 6/10-11, contest 6/12--21
Overlaps are partly due to issues like avoiding conflict with WGC, as
well as fire season, airport availablity etc.

Mifflin has Sports for 2013. Other classes still open for bid.
