Re: Why not hold UPA championships right now?

Hmm. Interesting, with some merit.

Thoughts to consider:

Current spacing of Club/College Sectionals:

May - October

5 months from college to club
7 months from club to college

Proposed Spacing

May - August

3 months from college to club
9 months from club to college

I think the spacing is better as is, but that doesn't neccesarily mean
it is better overall.
You can't move college nationals, northern teams get too little
practice time already.
Little to no recovery time for college nationals players going to club
teams.
Would increase the possibility of getting some coverage because yes,
there is NOTHING going on in sports right now. The middle of the
baseball season might as well not happen, they need to cut the season
by 50 games anyway.
This would put all the tune-up tournaments in the dead of summer. Good
for travel and such, bad for playing tournaments in 110 degree
weather. Nationals (depending on locations) could also end up scalding
(not that Arkansas is a good place to have nationals, but it IS
miserable for most of August. Other states may be the same), although
in northern locations it could be rather nice.
