Rather than calling for a new class like Club Class or more nationals
like East/West, I feel we should be addressing the real possibility
that what we have right now isn't being attended in great enough
numbers to make it a viable propasition for contest organizers. At
Montague next year I would think something like 10 standards, 10 opens
and 10 in a co-regionals is all we could hope for and this econopy
will only make those numbers decline.
Most who have organized contests would agree that somewhere around 35
contestants is the minimum break even point.
