i vote we hold nationals somewhere that prolly wont get hit with a natural disaster
Seriously? Worlds has been held in California how many times? Three?
Earthquakes, mud slides, fires...
They should at least tell us the dates.
From Jan 07, 2005 by Professor Dav...

Ohio is a very centrally located state. By holding our Nationals there, no one is too far away to attend, or, at least, not an entire country away.
It is much harder for someone from NY to make it to say, California, than it is for someone from California to make it to Ohio, and NY to Ohio.
There are more people EAST of the Mississippi than there are West of the Mississippi as well, putting a majority of the population nearer the event.
FYI- Our current plans are to hold our Nationals at Origins every year, until we outgrow the venue.

Two things of interest...
1. "until we outgrow the venue" - Have we outgrown the venue? I think maybe so.
2. This was JAN 7 of 2005. We're a month past that this year.
