Bob - I think nobody knows the answer to your question. It isn't the first time it has been asked, but it seems that only the Area A and B reps can answer it, and they aren't saying for some reason. It could be that there is no qualifier planned in your Area, in which case you can either travel to another event or rely on a petition. Like Sisyphus, I got tired of pushing that rock up the hill - maybe Jake will have better luck motivating the Reps than I did. After five years, I'm more inclined to declare poorly run or incomplete qualifiers invalid than explain the basics for the umpteenth time - and now, if the event doesn't happen due to lack of interest... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I can't understand why some Areas continue to decline while the Championship thrives.
Maybe I'm wrong... Joe? David? Got an event planned?
