COACHES CORNER

So what's with the submit your bid bullshit! Who are the bids getting submitted to? What is the criteria for these so called bids. And most importantly who gets the final say on this. So far all that there is are intentions to bid on hosting these events. A bit of the cart before the horse is happening here. Simply putting your hand up is not a bid but an intention to bid.

There is no voting process established either. Does every player get a vote or should it be 1 vote per city/club. Personally i feel the later would be a fairer way due to some clubs having more members and some clubs not really having much representation on this website. Same goes for the Europeans with little representation from the masses there. ( and no I'm not forgetting Asia, OZ, South America etc...)

There is no doubt that the intentions to bid so far are great venues for this event. NYC always has there shit together. Same goes for Calgary. East Van as well.

The debate about which coast the 2011 worlds should be on favors the west coast in my opinion. Provided it returns to North America. They should have the driving option available when this tournament returns to North America. Just as the 2010 North Americans should be played in a location other than the west coast.

I would like to see the focus of discussions on 2010 not 2011 for the time being. The clock is ticking and who ever takes on that project will have there work cut out for them as it is. If NYC is NOT doing the North Americans for 2010 great, work on your "bid" for the 2011 worlds and STFU till 2010 is sorted out. You should really do the North Americans!

Perhaps we can just all concede to Madison for the 2010 North Americans and one problem solved. Then the North Americans can move east for 2011 from there and return to the west coast for 2012.

My plea to the Europeans is set the date and location asap for the worlds there, so the North Americans can be scheduled before that happens. It would be lame if SMILE is defending their world title before they defend the North American one. Atlanta if your still considering the 2010 North Americans, the weekend of the NACCC event is not ideal as it will fall on what most likely be the best weekend for North America to travel overseas for the worlds.

Ps The CBC has lifted their time delay on my broadcast so there will be no editing anymore.
