A friend of mine is going to the Nats for the first time in 2011 and also wants to see the World Championship Semi-Finals and Finals. The dates I had were as follows:
F3A World Championship dates are:
July 25th - 28th - Prelims
July 29th - Rain day
July 30th - Semi-Finals
July 31st - Finals
Pattern Nationals
August 1st - Check-in / Processing
August 2nd -5th - Pattern Nationals
He booked a room based on those dates and then called AMA just to make sure of the AMA Nats dates and was told they run from July 31st through August 7, 2011. Can someone confirm which is correct? I tried checking the NSRCA site but couldn't find any postings on it.
There was a Nats planning meeting a week ago... and guess what? They changed the dates for us... as of today the Nats will start on August 3 (processing) with August 4 being the 1st day if flying and the finals will be on the August 7. I'm waiting to hear when the WC's will finish since they (AMA) extended the WC's dates until August 2 - I'll know tonight.
