If I'm not mistaken, it was roughly 50 weeks ago that the dates and location of Natz was announced for this year, so we should be hearing back soon.

Reread what I said, I was pretty clear. We heard about this year's Nats about this time of year, so it should be in the next couple weeks.

Nats in MN for 2011 was already decided by Rob at the time he chose to have Nats 2010 in Boston. But the Boston Nats was not announced until sometime in February (or maybe March) of that year I believe. When I talked to Rob in MN about Nationals for 2012 he indicated that there was no strong leaning towards any particular place at that time. I suspect we might have to wait couple months before we hear anything certain.

The problem with that is there was one in Boston just two years ago. There are many other groups across the country in the same scenario, so it is unlikely nats will be in the NE again so soon.

I think Gabe should host nats alone. As in, so he can't play. Iowa is due anyway.

But you just had Nats in MN, a state away! I agree with the 2012 host should be located in the South Eastern part of the country (TN, NC, SC).

If it's not in Rochester, I'm for this.  Then they'll stop complaining about "all the players that get to go to Nats"

Quite a few.  Rob tries to space them out.

2015 would be a possibility.

Places nats should never be, IMO: California (and the entire western states), Florida, Canada, Maine, Oregon. They are all too remote to warrant a nats. Northeast coast is only saved due to the amount of players over there. I'm sick of the whole "we never get a nats..." card, since there's so much more to a nats than the local playgroup. Location is pretty much everything.

I'm 100% behind TN 2012, since I'll likely be moving down there in August.  ;D

Tennessee just makes sense, so I'm not sure what the debate would be.

Minnesota is in a perpetual state of running.

It'll be awhile before MN is ready to take the nats touch of death. We likely wouldn't want to host one until at least 3 years from now. I can't speak for Bill and Co., but the southern playgroups can't do it at this point.

It doesn't matter to me in which state that Gabe is designated to host in.  ;)

Tennessee is a pretty solid location all things considered. It's not quite as bad as Minnesota was for us Northeasterners, especially Kittens and Friends, along with the MA playgroups. It looks like it's about half the time for me in fact, which is something is exciting. It's also not too horribly far for the MN groups, and it gives the Florida groups a chance to possibly come. My personal preference would be Georgia, since I have family in Atlanta, but there you go.

And to mention that I'm in close proximity to TN. So it's all good with us in Bama. :D

I'm fine with anywhere that I can get a ride to from someone else to go, so a place like Tennessee or NY would probably be good for me too.

I know that if it's in the southern states, Randall would likely be picking me up, and if he ends up taking one of the Roberts vans, he should have room for you. If by some miracle he gets it, there's always a place in my vehicle for you.

If it's in Florida it's also very possible that I will be driving down, possibly by myself as I have people to visit in the state and would not want to ask anyone I was riding with to come with me. So I would be able to help with transportation either down or back but not both as I would either be going down a few days early or leaving a few days late. Hypothetically this situation would be for a group travelling together who CAN bring all their people but it would be uncomfortable to carry that many people in one vehicle I could eliviate (though I can't apparently spell it) the discomfort one way.

As far as I know, Florida won't be making a bid.

Sad face. I've been trying to get down there for months. Thought I finally had an excuse.

You can always come visit. We have a guest room with a private bath. I live 8 miles from Disney. We could hold an impromptu tournament and maybe coax the South Florida guys to come up.
