I agree that the structure needs to be addressed before CCs. Difference being, CCs are 2 months away! (Well, 7 weeks or so...usually start the week of Thanksgiving, black friday) We are still finishing up BRs and PRs are just around the corner.
I doubt many of you will give up multiple CCs even if the structure is just invite only w/o trips for the rankin invites. Did it really change last year? Yeah, Worlds is going to be more expensive this year in Hawaii than last year in San Diego. I know that when CCs roll around, I will still see plenty of travelers at events.
I did not mean to make light of anyone who wants to plan their season. It is serious business for loads of people. All I was saying is most, if not all of you, will still play as many CCs as you can get to!
