Default RE: The future of MAAC Nats

I don't agree with Ken's anti-competition rants, however, the lack of participation indicates something problematic -- what is it?

Was there insufficient advance warning to the modelling fraternity to get prepared?

Were insufficient resources available (monetary, manpower, etc)?

Was there something lacking in the organization of the event (advertising, venue, local infrastructure, whatever)?

Is there a general decline in competition interest (Ken will like that one)?


I don't pretend to know the answers to any of those questions, but if low levels of apparent interest conbtinue, then I think that the problems (whatever they are) have to be fixed,or the "national" program dumped (which I think would be unfortunate).
