Posts: 25 Country : United States | SKnight posted @ 2015-08-22 4:50 PM If there simply wasn't going to be a USPC this year, I assume they'd be deciding a team based on past performance, the GP, and so on, and willwc would have already have gotten an invitation or something. Assuming there is a USPC, it does have to be in the next few weeks, so I'm sort of assuming we'll hear something soon. In the past, there has never been much advance notice -- they tend to send an email around and update the webpage a week or so before the event. I have always wished we had more advance notice. And I agree that since the top qualifiers are going to have to arrange international travel, possibly ask for a couple of days off work, and so on, having the qualifiers earlier is better (not that I'm worried personally, having barely cracked the top 25). |
