2005 IFSA USA Championships Uncertain

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2005

Citing a last minute cancellation by the promoter, ASC president Dione Wessels said that she is uncertain about whether the 2005 IFSA USA championships will proceed as planned.

Wessels, who has been working hard to make this contest a reality, apologized for the inconvenience caused by this uncertainty, but she explained that an eleventh-hour withdrawal by the promoter has forced her to consider the following three options:

1. Find an alternative location in Las Vegas for the original dates
2. Move the event to Philadelphia
3. Cancel the event and "take the current top six champions from last year to the [IFSA] Pan American Championships"

Wessels said that a final decision must be made no later than this Tuesday, and she is open to suggestions for how to best deal with this imperfect situation.
