AAU affiliation w/ Army Nationals... Great for AAU Bad for Event!

I have a feeling that the AAU card requirement is going to hurt numbers at Army Nationals this summer.  It would be fine if the event was an Iowa event were youth wrestling is primarily AAU sanctioned and where all of the kids need an AAU card to wrestling at Districts and State.  But this is an Illinois event where youth wrestling is sanctioned by USA Wrestling and almost no one has any need for an AAU card. 

One of two things is going to happen... numbers at tourney down or a win-fall of revenue for the AAU.  I have a feeling that the former is more likely!

Thoughts?
