After "Britain in '87" was selected over the Phoenix bid as the World Science Fiction Convention to be held in 1987 (as "Conspiracy '87" in Brighton, England), the WSFS Business Meeting directed that a written ballot election be held that afternoon to select a NASFiC site for that year. Essentially unopposed, Phoenix was announced as the winner the next day.[3]
