[Jared Russell]

I am not at all worried about the likes of Brandon, Karthik, and John forgetting about western teams.

There are teams EAST of the Mississippi? I knew there were competitions (IRI and a couple of previous championship venues), but teams?

Who says it's those three we're worried about? It's the rest of 'em. The three named all have CD accounts--see "spam PM" (guys, don't do that to them, please).


And honestly, the best way to make the western teams happy is to move the Houston event out this way in 2021. (Or the Detroit event in the same year.) Somewhere that maybe we have a chance at driving to within one day. Otherwise... we're flying. For the West Coast, the best bet for determining their home event is to figure out which championship event is cheapest to fly to, and stay in a hotel at. Figure that out, and then it's a tad bit easier on the teams out here, seeing as we've got to fly anyways if we go.
