3dchamp,

Your opinion that the 3di team selection should be based on the 3 northern triple crown shoots, does not seem to take into account that not all IBO members live in Northern states.

I respect that you are entitled to your opinion, but there are nine national shoots. Your statement that the idea you propose would increase the level of participation at the Northern Triple Crown could just as easily be said about the Southern Triple Crown. I live in the South (Texas), and if I were to adopt a selfish stance, it would be my suggestion that only the three Southern Triple Crown shoots be used for 3di selection. Of course that sort of self serving attitude would meet with the same objections from those who live in Northern states.

I would hope that you can see the point that I am trying to make. I believe that if consideration is given to all IBO members, then it would be evident that the shooter of the Year approach is more equitable.
