Prereleases start up again towards the end of October.
Is a two month break really that hard to handle, considering that the judges/TOs/PTOs/POP staff have been going nonstop with events throughout the past 5 months or so?
IMO after Worlds, POP staff _deserve_ a vacation. If you've not worked at a large event like that, you've NO IDEA just how much work it is to put on...nor just how tired one is afterwards.
Give the people who put all this on for you to enjoy a break, please...=/
JMHO,
