# <span class=q>Will there be two [[Collins]] divisions at the 2015 NSC?</span><br />Maybe, if attendance continues to increase. We'll make a decision about this in early 2015.
# <span class=q>Why was the [[Pairings Committee]] not consulted about the adoption of a playoff format in 2015?</span><br />The mandate of the Pairings Committee is “to evaluate and certify pairing algorithms for tournament use”. The bracket pairing format has long been certified for tournament use, and has been used previously in a number of other tournaments. So there was nothing for the Pairings Committee to do in this case.
# <span class=q>Who decides the format of the NSC?</span><br />The NASPA [[Championship Committee]] is charged with organizing and running our annual championship tournament. The Championship Committee makes hundreds of decisions with respect to the organization of the NASC. The Championship Committee functions much like the organizers/directors of other NASPA tournaments, choosing a venue, negotiating terms, setting entry fees, establishing division cutoffs, determining pairing format, etc.
