Bob is right. The dates for the team trials should be reserved along with the NATS schedule.
I was coordinator for the last team trials cycle, which is supposed to be handled mostly by Colleen Pierce at AMA.
I was supposed to write up a report, but thanks to the excellent job Bob and Arlene did there really was nothing to report. No protests were filed and there were only minor initial problems with getting the procedures running. The real job for the next committee will be recruiting equally qualified and energetic judges.

ps. I doubt we will get a better qualified bid for the next cycle. the schedule is strenuous, but any other site and time will make it hugely more difficult and expensive to run.
