Muncie Finals??

Recently, there has been some momentum for holding the Team Selection Finals at the AMA field in Muncie, Indiana. While I consider this to be my "home" field, holding an FAI Finals there is a bad idea. Consider the following:
- No matter how we might wish it to be otherwise, Muncie is a two-minute field.
-Three minute flights are possible only if the wind is directly out of the north or south.
-Generally, the wind is out of the west, making the crops, trees and cemetery traps for the unlucky. This makes retrieval an unfair component into who makes the team.
-If the Finals is held during the latter part of June, as proposed, the corn on the field will be nearly full height. The trees surrounding the entire field will make getting the model back in time for the next round a virtual impossibility.
-With a nearly quarter mile flight line, even with a north or south wind, the unlucky fliers on either side of the line will not be able to keep a three minute flight on the field.
-adjoining landowner are likely to be the victims of trespass by fliers going on their property without consent. This mess will have to be cleaned up by those of us who rely on Muncie as our primary field after the Finals are over.
Considering I can't recall when we've had two days in a row where three minute maxes have been flown at Muncie, let alone three days, holding a Finals there when we have a perfectly acceptable field in Lost Hills is a bad idea.
