RE: 2005 MAAC Nats
In fairness, Mr Shaw does state the don't have any "seed money our their hands", which could mean that entry money has already paid back the initial "seed" money that I also heard they received via ZD.
..........both statements could be correct.
And Yes, they could eliminate speculation by simply posting budget and updated information such as this stuff on the Website. This I tried, but some get right riled up feeling that much of MAAC business is top secret for some reason? So what if such info is discussed and questioned openly..........at least the basic facts related to such discussion would be accurate.
