ArtK78 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I am a member of the Philadelphia unit of the ACBL. There was an announcement made via e-mail to the members of the Unit that the World Championships were going to be held here. However, that announcement proved to be premature, as the official decision has not yet been made (as of two weeks ago). I heard that directly from an official source. And a retraction of the earlier announcement was made by e-mail. To the best of my knowledge, an official determination has yet to be made. There is certainly nothing posted about it on the Unit or District websites. So, while the World Championships MAY be coming to Philadelphia, it is not yet official.
