According to whom? That being said, they have a meet on Sunday and we don't but it's just too far in Lorton. Va. We could learn a lot from Quantico. Nice folks and they run excellent meets.

We need to generate more interest for our newer members to become event directors and to learn the basics of course design.  In 2005 we had 65 events with 37 different event directors.  2013 had 36 events with 24 different event directors.  So we have fewer people taking on the responsibility and fewer people doing multiple events in one year. The number of people willing to set courses has also declined, but that data is a little more difficult for me to dig out right now.
