2018 US Masters Nationals & Worlds

I have searched and searched, but I can't find any information on dates or locations for the 2018 nationals & worlds. Anyone have any inside information as to where and when they might be held. I don't know the inner workings or politics of it, but find it frustrating. Even for this year, when they posted the dates for Masters Nationals, they either posted them incorrectly or changed the dates as they changed them once they were posted. Come on people, these are Masters were talking about...for the most part, working individuals that have to schedule time off and arrange travel. For alot of us, the dates and location are a huge factor as to if we can go or not due to time or financial constraints.

With that being said, anyone have any info on the 2018 locations?

Home - Masters Worlds LA 2018 will be in same location, but suspect UCI won't set dates until the end of the year.

Can someone help explain these fees?:

- Open track training session: $40/day
- Infield pass for coaches/spouses: $25/day, $80/all sessions
- Spectator pass: $10/day, $40/all
- Access to rollers: $100/all sessions (my guess is that access to rollers is first come, first served and not guaranteed.)

These are some tough expenses.

Do these sound or are they priced high to discourage people from wanting to do these things? Do they have these fees when there are Junior, Elite, Masters, or Para events?

i don't know about the others, but yeah, they do infield passes for elite nats.

they don't want open access clogging up the infield.

The infield pass for the competition is not new, nor is it different from any other big event for Masters. It is, in my opinion, too expensive. For example, Rock Hill only charged $10 for the entire competition.


I don't get the spectator pass thing; I am going out on a limb here, but I don't see why the day session is not free; they have always charged for the night sessions.


The cost for the rollers is the same that Manchester charges.


You also had to pay for open training at Manchester.

Nationals hasn't been awarded yet, but the rumor is it will be at T-Town next year.

- Spectator pass: $10/day, $40/all - Is there really much demand for people to watch this?
- Access to rollers: $100/all sessions (my guess is that access to rollers is first come, first served and not guaranteed.) - Are you allowed to bring your own rollers? If not, this changes things.

These are some tough expenses.
Training sessions seems really exp

That will kind of suck in my opinion as Natz have been east of the Mississippi for the last three years. Time for them to be somewhere on the west coast, or at least in Colorado.
