Only for the EEDCMP and the CMP--many teams won't need to deal with the CMP even if they make the EEDCMP. (This does depend on relative size of the two events, mind you.) And many, many teams probably won't make the EEDCMP (unfortunately).


Something like "suddenly needing to travel again to attend the World Championship" can be dealt with. It won't necessarily be pretty. But it is doable.


And, not to put too fine a point on it, but the LAST time the NY teams didn't need to fly to a Championship was in the early 90s when Nationals was in Manchester, NH. The CA teams have never had a Championship within driving distance--and would love to see some of the Midwest and East Coast teams have to fly out here for once.
