RE: Formula for Trophy awards for classes
I understand that you can not give a trophy to every shooter who is unopposed at the club level shoot. My point I think is that when you charge a fee that is $25.00 more or less that there should be some kind of recognition to a person that has no control over the numbers. I think that in some areas it may become necessary to keep a record of classes that can not create enough interest to draw a number of competitors over a prolonged period and either eliminate the class or inform the competitor that the class is a non-competitive class because of the minimun required. This has always been a problem in competitive archery of having too many classes with not enough shooters.
There is no easy answer to this problem but I think that we must inform the competitors of the problem and hope that we can have them move, when possible to another style or class. If they come to a shoot to compete then they must have someone to compete with or what is the point.
