I'm at Adult Nationals in Bensenville this week competing in Bronze Ice Dancing. And Yes, there are some problems and inconveniences. It seems that when a city is awarded a USFS adult competition, each and every time it is a case of " Reinventing the Wheel ". Some local committees do a fine job with running the competition, and others, not so good. It's different every time, and at every place. You would think that information or experience would somehow be retained by the USFS to be used at future Adult Nationals. But if that is not to happen, and sometimes it does not happen, what is an adult competitor supposed to do ? Just quit competing ?
BTW----At least there is enough free parking close to the rinks that are being used ! And there are several " Ice Network " banners up, and it appears as if some of the events are being videotaped. But I do not have cable, so I can not say or know what is being broadcast, if any. What little TV that I watch these days comes from YouTube or the Internet, mostly anime or anime music videos.
