I don't think it's that simple. People who are willing to host may be in no position to offer to host because they have a pool board isn't interested in hosting. Now perhaps there are pools where boards/nvsl team interests coincide, but whether they have the ability to host (parking/neighborhood layout, tents setup, etc etc.) is a different story. There's a lot of boxes that have to be checked that doesn't make this a walk in the park.[/quote]

I think that it is a freeloading problem too.  We send anywhere from 4 to 12 kids a year.  Two families will volunteer and the rest feel they owe no obligation and want to use the team rep bracelet so they get the good social media posts of their kid swimming. They do the bare minimum or feel their obligation is done since it is post season.

This is what is going on at th micro level and plays out at the macro level.  These same families will be the most upset if the meet doesn't happen.  They don't care about the tremendous amount of work on the host pool and the volunteers.
