Possible, but if I recall we posted plenty of info on the chat board. Its like the old saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
What bothers me is that you put a lot of effort forth to organize EFL events and frankly coaches put forth minimal or no efforts to support it.
They don't show becuase they don't like the rules, weight classes, or some petty gripe they have with coaches, or some lame excuse. I don't feel that we should dilute the MFCA Convention by dividing it up over multiple events with minimal participation. I say no more that one (1) Convention and if its not in Canton, the "reunion" party there during the HOF weekend; lets reward some coaches who have supported the hobby in the past.
Again, I do feel it's time to go West, an area of the country with several dedicated coaches (solid, dedicated leagues) who have crossed the country more than once and have yet to host a National Convention. I believe they deserve a chance to see what they can do. Then maybe the South the following year then back to Canton.
just my (2) cents
