Bidding for 2025 USAWA Championships
The calendar is already filling up with meet sanctions for 2025! If anybody is interested in bidding for one of the championship events, please let me know (bethskw@gmail.com) ideally by the end of the year.
You can read more about the different USAWA championships in Sanjiv’s excellent article here. Some have the same host every year by tradition, some rotate, and some haven’t been contested in recent years but could be brought back. The dates and hosts for Nationals and the Presidential Cup are already set, but we have a variety of other championships.
The process of hosting a championship is basically the same as for a regular meet, but no other meets can be held on the same date as a championship—which is why I’d like to get those set on the calendar ASAP.
