It could hurt local clubs a little but I don't think that it would be much and after a little time it would promote many new members which would end up boosting the local clubs and their income. Unfortunately it's a woulda, coulda, shoulda situation. An extravagant amount of money has already been spent and gone which benefits locals to muncie and those few that can afford to travel and take large amounts of time off. I'm sure that given a different goal that the EC and Vp's could have put their heads together and come up with something that would have been very beneficial to a majority of the membership not just a select few...
