Just a thought... I'm not going to the Nationals and did not even apply (had 7 points), so I have no 'dog in this fight'. With that said.......

There was a point system announced that... according to HQ... would determine entry into the Nationals. One had to travel to Sanctioned Matches to accumulate those points. That takes time and money. Those who spent the time and money and accumulated 8, 9, 10 points, might understandably question why they didn't get in, while shooters with 3, 4, 5 points did. I think that is a very reasonable question. And, I think those shooters deserve a reasonable answer.   

If the announced system didn't work as intended... or didn't work at all... maybe it should be fixed and clarified. But, the shooters who tried to work within it and comply with the Rules do deserve an answer as to why their efforts were wasted.
