Thanks Derek, please keep us posted.
My friend's inquiry started me thinking that I should book a room which I did. Obviously, I'll be cancelling that and starting over depending on what you find out. I know of a number of guys that plan on watching the last two days of the World's before they compete in the Nats. I'll be assisting Andrew in the World's and plan on competing at the Nats so I'll be there anyway. In either case, if there's much of a delay between the end of the World's and the start of the Nats, the hotel bills could really mount up.

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.
