Mike, we're talking about the US Nationals, not the NAC. The NAC will remain at Origins.

Having the US National Championship over Memorial Day weekend with the North American Championship 2 weeks later at Origins would stress my travel time and budget really thin....

Mike:
(understanding that we are talking about the US Championship and not the NAC)

I don't think L.A. should be concerned about "competition" from Dragon*Con if L.A. really wants to do the US Championship at their traditional Labor Day(ish) tourneys. Historically, there has been nearly zero overlap between 'West Coast' And 'East Coast' VTES events, so I don't think that should enter into your thinking.

If 'West Coast'ers wanted to come to the US Championship the last two years, they had to fly across the country. If that is reversed for a year, it shouldn't make anyone upset at any level. There needs to be some intellectual understanding that the USA is going to have these problems because we are such a large country.

That being said, having it in L.A. in February doesn't appear to be an issue at any level, other than a likely 18-month wait for the next US Championship if it then leaves L.A. for the 'East Coast' again the following year.

Please replace NAC with US Nationals, with my apologies. I was watching football while typing! ;)

Ok, so I was a little late to this discussion. After reading up on this a little more, I would concur that Dragon Con host this next one and LA can take a shot after that. There should be a two year set up so everyone has plenty of scheduling time. Sounds like David Tatu is already to go with Dragon Con so do it there and let's start discussing the following one.
