YYC - WCMA Regional - Count as series Event?

[Wayne Dyck]

Your executive puts considerable thought and effort into securing venues and scheduling.
Consideration for events was given to...
Development; novice schools, SoloPro school
Practice events; hone skills with no (OK minimal) competitive pressure
Championship events; again this year combined SASC / CSCC Championship, venue attendance and participation requirements, overall scoring towards same, etc
Other events; WCMA regional, Challenge, appreciation, etc.

I believe a good balance was achieved.
Requests to alter scheduling only upset this balance.

I encourage all members to get involved, not just event participation, but volunteer, attend monthly club meetings, voice your opinion, help guide the club going forward. Not that many years ago the club was at risk of dissolving, lack of member involvement was the key. We never want to return to those times.

Remember...
You can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

Thanks Wayne!

Yes, there is a surprising amount of effort that goes into organizing and running these events.  And it is true that we do put thought into much of what we do.  These are not just random decisions.

So if you are wondering about why we are doing something, it is a good idea to ask why?  There is probably a good reason for what it is we are doing.

And, of course, no one or body is perfect, so we look to improve whenever we can.   

Cheers,

getting ready for the weekend ... course design to do!

The two day regional does not count towards the SASC/CSCC Joint Championship, it is a standalone two day event just like the August 12/13th Challenge event. There are 4 championship events at Fort Macleod, 4 at YYC and 5 at Westerner. I believe that we've achieved a good balance.

Thanks Chris.

I seem to also remember that we had just too many events at YYC ... re:  Your manageable comment ... but we also wanted to use the venue as much as we could, while we could.  They mean to develop the property eventually so that is a concern.

Exactly!

One other bonus to having the championship cover 50% +1 event is that it avoids unbreakable ties since there will be at least one event that any two competitors are both at.  Without that you could have two people who win every event they attend and with the typical 'heads up' tiebreaker not being available.
