Father Time here
Currently this is what it looks like:
1. Crews can only race off in their region or at the National Club Crew Championships. What does this mean, each region gets 1 entry per division and then there are 2 entries available to be won at the Nation Club Crew Chamionships. This lets every region get representation and it helps establish a national championship that has something in it (so people make an effort to go).
2. National Club Crew Championships are August 26th/27th in Welland (or rumour has it).
3. Western Region is still not decided but now there is a process to have organizations request the "privilege" to run the event. There are standards to be met such as course length, properly surveyed, minimum depth, etc. Sounds good, but typically when put into practice whoever has the most political clout will win the right to hold the regionals.
4. Right now there are 2 vying for the Western region raceoff (rumour has it).
5. To allow teams to make a decision to go to Nationals or not I would hope the regional will be held before August 26th (well before so tickets can be booked etc for nationals).
Enough for now, Father Time has to go help Santa now as time is running out for the old guy to get all those gifts ready for me
Kind of chaotic right chaos
