No ,they don't have a run off for the final GV& GVX,because they don't have such a title. But didn't we used to have a West Coast GV&GVX ?? and that was their title.. Anyway,we are going to be forced to make some changes for future Nationals,I'm afraid. We don't like it but we have to be realistic. Anyone else have some ideas ?
