NC Region is due, Iowa or Minnesota, I have it from a very reliable source that Iowa will most likely put in a bid at the very least.

Ohio.

So... if nats was in Kansas in 07', Ohio in 08' and California this year... wouldn't NE be due for the next location?

Nope, keep in mind that the NC region continues to have one of the largest player bases, in addition to the fact that we have a long history of succesful national tournaments. NE does have a legitimate argument but Rob tries not to put it on the coasts two years in a row.

Didn't this Nats like have the lowest player turnout of any Nats since 2001? Lol, NC Regs got almost as many players this year. :P Just an interesting fact about West MN. ...

I would love to see Nats in East MN this year, as I probably always will. (It's just a little frustrating to me that the last time it was here was right before I got back into the game after a 6-month break. :P ::)) I would probably be able to make Iowa as well, which might even be kewler. 8)

Well I'll be the first to say it: if Nats 2010 is in Orlando I claim YMT's spare master suite.   ;)

GA, you better clean up your tournament act if you want a Nats.  :P

I'd bet on Minnesota/Iowa in '10, and the NE in '11. And, why are we even talking about this?

Honestly if a Nats decision could be made as early as possible it helps us who know we have to travel prepare and save money.  There are some locations I would try and go to but others I probably wouldn't (distance from family).  I think it would actually be cool if we almost knew at one Nats where the next one would be.  Like announce it on the final day of Nats so everyone gets excited and ready for it.
I never want to grow up, hmmm maybe thats why I'm a youth pastor.

As a host of this year's Nationals, I thought I would help everyone understand the process a bit. Here's a summary of the things that have to happen to have Nationals somewhere.

1. Potential hosts have to consider whether they can get approval for a location that can adequately support the events to be held over three and a half days with the number of expected players.
2. The potential host has to consider the costs that will be involved and if they can get the help they need to run the tournament.
3. They have to put in a bid to Rob to host the tournament.
4. Rob has to select one of the bids placed by the various potential hosts.
5. The selected host has to confirm the dates and secure the tournament location for those dates.
6. Rob can announce the location of the National tournament.
7. The host has a LOT of work to do to get everything ready by the dates of the tournament.

So if you want Nationals 2010 to be held in (state your preference), talk to someone who can be the host in (state your preference) and get them to submit a credible bid to Rob to be the host of the 2010 National Tournament in (state your preference). Then offer them your help, then you can plead with Rob and pray that he'll pick that bid.

Best wishes to the potential 2010 hosts...

Mike
