But will there be fewer losers and less wasted effort under the continental rotation
system? Under the set continent rotation system it won't be possible to bid one year,
learn some lessons and bid the following year. You might get some overlap between bid
teams three years apart, but I wouldn't plan on it. If we rotate by distance then an
unsuccessful bid team would often have the option of bidding again the following year.

It's indeed a pity that things were not announced sooner and better, but the whole
point of the new system is to decide earlier and waste less volunteer time/nerves. If we
dislike having losers, let's design a system where there are no losers instead of
asking that other people be the losers. (See Iolanda's message.)
