Traditionally, the World English has been basically between the US and the UK with the shoot moving to each Country every other year. One year in San Antonio, and the next in the UK. The general gripe has been that the Brit's are tired of always going to SAT and not getting to see other parts of the Country because of it. When it goes to England, the World travels to a different grounds each time. Frankly, the US shooters would like to see it move around the US as well, as they too are tired of it always being in SAT.
There has been some talk about having the World Sporting move through other countries just like the World FITASC does. The problem is that there are few countries other than the US and the UK that actually shoot sporting clays. Most Countries consider sporting clays to be FITASC, and not the multi-stand courses like we and the Brit's do.
I am sure there will be pressure to keep the World Sporting in SAT because that is the NSCA home grounds and they want to keep the bucks for themselves rather than pass it around to other grounds around the US. Just like everything else nowadays, greed is always a factor in anything that involves serious money to be made.
At any rate, it will be interesting to watch this play out.
