I was always under the impression it worked the other way around: That
Nationals were the pinacle and set the model to strive towards. I'd hate to
think that Joe Local who may have never been to a national event and designs
courses to fit in the local highschool parking lot is setting the standards
for national course design!?!? Seems to me that that's exactly the problem
that needs fixing!

Unless the course design problems are driven down to the regional and local
levels it will be an uphill battle. Change begins at home. Once it is a common
practice at that level then the National event courses will be a non-issue.
