Perhaps if each local club held events in order to select their own
delegate(s) to a "national" level event (some of?) the proceeds from the
local contests could be used to fund the expenses incurred with attending the
national contest. This way you could root for your home team at the least. Or
perhaps this is already done by some clubs.
Both the cost and level of dedication required to be a WC USA rep to the
Internats might be intimidating but if your fellow club members were behind
you, perhaps it might ease the pain.
Most guys (maybe its just me) probably just consider themselves as "sunday
fliers" and don't want to put themselves through the possible pain and public
humiliation of subjecting themselves to a "competition" to see "who's best",
but who cares anyway. I'll probably enter a contest one of these days. I
still get a chuckle when I recall all those guys at the IHLGF out in the
field in the midst of the frenzy to stay airborne. Looked like alot of fun.
