Since I hadn't heard anything about it, I asked about the VBB World Championship. According to the email I received back from Steve Dodge, "there is too much in the hopper to make it happen around AM Worlds. The Fall might be the time frame"
I think this is unfortunate for a couple of reasons.
1) Less participation in the event from players. Tying it to the Worlds event time and location allowed players to make one big trip, attracting more players.
2) There were quite a few Juniors playing in last year's event and the Fall time frame probably won't allow that many Junior players with school and other organized sports going on.
Am Worlds is most people's big disc golf trip for the year, having the VBB World Championship there and then made sense. However, I would not hold it again at courses that are in play for Worlds. There were several players who were unable to practice Coldbrook Park because of the 2-day event.
