Would never sign up to be on any team without knowing who the coaches are, does no one else think that is not a big issue?

Greetings from The Champions Cup Cheer and Dance State Nationals,
We wanted to reach out to everyone and let you know after much thoughtful consideration and deliberation, The Champions Cup Cheer and Dance State Nationals will be moving to next summer, July 14-18, 2014. While we do have enough athletes and teams to continue the event in a restructured fashion, we believe it its imperative to hold true to the visions and ideals this extraordinary event was designed to offer. Simply stated, we are allowing it to grow organically and make your experience all it is intended to be, AMAZING.
Our biggest challenge was time. We began heavily promoting The Champions Cup at the end of February and had the daunting task of working against the 2 busiest months in the All Star Cheerleading world. However even with those challenges, we are now over 500 registrants and still have host gyms across the country asking to join the cause on a daily basis. The word is spreading, and we are hearing nothing but positive outreach. We have spoken and counseled with many of the involved host gyms. Each of the gyms have been in complete support and are eager to keep promoting through the summer and next season.
Unfortunately while states like New Jersey, New York and Illinois have multiple teams with more than 16 athletes, we also have examples of states with one team and 6 athletes. More time will allow each State to build teams where every athlete is properly placed on a full team at their appropriate skill levels.
However, just because the date of the event is being moved does not mean the experience is on hold. We are planning on having all state delegates get together a few times over the summer and begin working together. We would also like to create simple exhibitions at local competitions where they can show their talent, share their pride and spread awareness. Events and promotions will be planned locally throughout the year to spread the word to other athletes, gyms and schools. We will be creating a new, interactive web-site which will let each delegate communicate and connect with others throughout their state and the entire country. Try outs will continue throughout the year and the numbers will continue to grow on a more constant and consistent basis. Because of this, we WILL be able to have team placements by early March and give you all much more time to plan. Furthermore, we will have fund-raising opportunities and will also create opportunities for payment plans.
We genuinely hope each and every one of you will stay involved! You are all already registered for the event in 2014 and will not have to try out again. If you wish to move up a level, simply send a video of just your improved skills, and we will place you accordingly. If you do not wish to partake in The 2014 Champions Cup and all events leading up to it throughout the year, we completely understand and will refund your registration fee. We also realize many of you may have already made travel arrangements. Please e-mail me here with your individual situation, and we will work with you to find a positive solution.
Lastly and most importantly, CEO and Founder Patrick Cowherd and I want to express our most heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you for your excitement, support, and unbridled dedication to The Champions Cup. Patrick and I will be reaching out to each and every one of you individually to express our gratitude and to make sure we personally address any questions you may have moving forward. With over 500 athletes, this may take a few weeks, yet we look forward to speaking with you soon.
Thank you for your patience throughout this process. The vision is greater than ever, and we cannot wait to continue the effort. And, most of all, we can't wait to continue it with YOU.
Sincerely,
Jayson Polad, President

:cow:Why is the founder still telling people (as of a couple of hours ago) to register for this event with no acknowledgment that the event won't be happening until 2014. The dates and all information still point to this July?
