I ain't trying to be argumentive. Although I have never visited WR or EOT, I have always been under the assumption that citizenship was a requirement to be a 'National' Champ. OF course, I never thought much about the differences of Citizen and Resident until this topic came up. My guess is that all future 'SASS National Champions' will only be awarded to a citizen of the country which is hosting the championship match. I would be eager to see SASS's position on that. To my limited knowledge on the subject, I 'think' there are also permanent Residents of the US which I thought would be eligible as a Natl Champ..... but I honestly don't know how that works out. ..........Widder Hi Widder, if sass want to make it that way, that's fine, I don't have a problem with it of course, I'm not a Citizen. But in the past it is the understanding of State and Regional champs that if you lived, have a house, address and reside in the area, you are eligible , not that any of that affects us any longer. Obviously sass has had a rethink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously sass has had a rethink! I think there is a difference between a resident of a State and a Citizen of the United States (Nation). I do feel for you two as you both have given so much to matches that have been run in this country...so as far as earning a right to compete for the National Championship, you guys have done that. Unfortunately I don't think that'll be enough. Respectfully, Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, Heh, yea easier said than done pard, maybe we should just go to Mexico, swim the Rio and say Hola on the other side. I'd give anything to become a citizen.

It's very difficult to become a U.S. Citizen...if you deal with citizenship issues (ie: transfer guns), you'd know all about how difficult it is.

You can win your category or even the overall, but if you’re not a resident of that state you can’t be the state champion. Makes perfect sense to me.
