I have no problem with the decision to rotate the National, however when you compile your figures, you need to include every entry from all events offered besides what is listed in the "main' catalog. In all fairness, all entries are considered when compiling the profit and loss statement. From what I have heard, for the past 5 or so years, all performance entries have been at least 50% or more of the total National enties.

The membership voted to rotate. So saying, wherein each region would be the best based on entries. Then we have to factor in what are the hub cities for that region to be able to fly into with dogs.

California is a very large state but it is the only western state in these top fifteen states. What if we add the numbers for Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota & Missouri - all included in this list & ALL in the central area of the country. I really think that to compare entries in a region by only naming the state & not the total for the region can be misleading.
