^^Yeah...why is that?
Carlos carvalho runs the north american adcc. He was living in Virginia beach and Ohio hense the location . I think sponsors and convenience have a lot to do with it. He has been trying to grow the adcc tournament scene in the usa. Not trials but a regular traveling tourney like naga. As this grows so will trial events.
He's definately not perfect but we love him anyhow. He been my instructor for over 10 years:))))))
Okay...this is all making sense now. I guess Charleston, WV is fairly close to Ohio. But it is almost 7 hours from Virginia Beach.
Somebody has got to talk him into getting a little closer to the actual East Coast.
If there's money for them to rent a venue in SoCal every year, there's got to be money for them to rent a venue in Northern Virginia or somewhere else a little closer to the major East Coast population centers.
He has terrible geography concepts. I told him wv was out there but it was too late. Dc or va beach would have been perfect. I'm voting for Denver. Its the perfect location for everyone. Especially me but I'm selfish.
Yeah, Virginia Beach would be awesome. Or Richmond.Quote:

He's thinking ahead. Climate change will wipe out the East coast soon. Visionary.Quote:

Exactly. Denver for West Coast really isn't that much further if at all than Charleston or Columbus for the East Coast.Quote:

It's kind of crazy how much more spread out things are in the West compared to the East.
Denver is 15 hours driving from Los Angeles and 19 hours from San Francisco. It's even 8 hours (534 mi) from Salt Lake City to Denver and we are neighboring states.
By comparison, SLC to Denver is further than Washington, D.C. to Boston (438 mi) or D.C to Cincinnati (505 mi).
L.A. to Denver (1,016 mi) is almost exactly the same driving distance as Washington, D.C. to Des Moines, IA (1,018 mi).
San Fran to Denver (1,267 mi) is further than Washington, D.C. to the border of Texas (1,159 mi).
Fair enough. Thanks for taking the time to do the google maps research that I was too lazy to do, haha.Quote:

When I was in West Virginia I heard a rumor that it would be in Denver.. I'm winning that 169.5 division!!! Lol ;)
Fuck why can't it be in L.A
Nice. Denver would be coolQuote:

My suggestion would be to come and train as "high" as you can to prepare. The smoke, I mean altitude is thick
