The answer is simple "Lack of Communications". This has been
happening now for about the last 6 years. The reason that the dates
usually picked around late June was originally alot of the attendees
had kids or were teachers in school and that is when they were out.
Now I don't think that is as much of an issue. The next more
important reason for the timing is the COST. If you stay in the month
of June usually the cost is much less than if you get into July and
August. In the meets that I have been involved in the difference in
cost is usually about 20% more.
Then comes the 2012 meet as well that should have been the 60th
anniversary International Meet which would have been a joint meet
between both clubs, not happening. Now what do we have AHCUSA having
their meet in Canada and AHCA having their meet in Kentucky and both
will probably call them the 60th anniversary meet. I hope that this
don't mean an end to these national meets in the US.
This is one more reason the I think there should only be one National
US Club. They could have several large regional meets and then one
large meet every 5 years and come together. The meets could be spread
out from April to September and then you may have to opportunity to
attend meets in other regions. If you look at the calendar right now
you have this happening all across the US.
Yes I know this has been brought up many times before in the past and
it always turns into a big argument between the two national club
boards but someday this is inevitable that it is going to happen.
