Overall, I feel the BPA and WBC has grown successfully through the years and kept itself open to gamers of every part of society.  The great mix of tournaments, demos, juniors events and open gaming has given everyone attending multiple choices of how they want to experience the WBC.  Many great friendships have started through the WBC and a wealth of tournament history exists to add a level of camaraderie that doesn't exist in other gaming conventions.

​

However, over these past few years, many things in the world have been changing.   For the WBC to keep pace with those changes much of our back-office processes need to evolve.   Our history is what separates us from the other gaming conventions, and it has been sorely lacking with accuracy and timely updates.  Without our history we are no different than any other gaming convention. 

​

The WBC also must improve its marketing and tie in with the online gaming communities if it will continue to grow.   A positive, accurate and functional portal to the online world needs to exist so newcomers will know what the WBC is and why they should attend.  We have grown large enough that volunteer technical support is too time consuming.  Additional full/part-time paid technical position(s) are needed, with specific accountable job responsibilities, to take the WBC to the next level.
