I don't think we have the ability to choose dates per say. The owner of the hotel said that we were offered the hotel at a very discounted rate last year because they had an empty weekend during their slow season. The owner likes us, but I'm afraid that if refuse off season dates too many times then we may loose access again or be asked to pay the full rate. I am assuming the two dates we were offered this year were wholes in the resorts schedule. I'm not sure how many people are aware of this aspect of booking the site so wanted to help clarify.

The question is really more of if a date is offered will you clear your schedule and go?

Regards,

Nick

This weekend conflicts with the World Championships which would eliminate a number of top competitors from attending at West Baden. I personally don't think the April weekend is workable but I'll leave it up to those of you who would like to go ahead with it. Let me know if you would be able to attend on those dates and whether you think doing the event without the entire USA team would be a good idea.
