There are three geographic zones used for rotating BMDCA National Specialties around the country and identifying host clubs or consortiums in the three geographic locations of East-Central-West. These zones are formulated around geographic areas and regional clubs.

The clubs in each zone will be contacted four years ahead of their scheduled specialty. Each club of the zone has the option of participating, either as host or co-host, or not participating at all. Should more than one club or consortium of clubs want to host the National event, each group will formulate a proposal to present to the BMDCA so a decision can be made about the feasibility and cost effectiveness of each proposal. Determination of site will be made by the Board and communicated to those clubs who have submitted a proposal. If, after six months, no clubs or individuals in a particular zone and year wish to host, bidding for that year will be opened to the other two regions and regional clubs within those regions. If, after another six months, no hosting bids have been received, the decisions regarding that years specialty will fall to the BMDCA Board and National Specialty Committee.
