Galen Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 This is the thread for submitting bids for finals week venues.

This season, the Southern region is slated to host championships, and bids may submitted for the following states: NC, SC, GA, FL, TN, KY, AL, MS, AR, LA, TX, OK. Previous Southern championships have taken place in Oklahoma City OK (Season 2), Charlotte NC (Season 7), Nashville TN (Season 13), Dallas TX (Season 18) and Columbia SC (Season 19). Those cities may be nominated again. Venue nominations must be submitted in the following format: Host city: Host venue: Optional- Open Class/Class A venues Pictures of the venue are optional but will enhance the bid presentation.
