Elk Huntr,
What you said about falling apart was exactly my point when I asked on Saturday why we couldn' t just move the Saturday shoot to Sunday (I wasn' t one of the rowdy ones, I just asked the question). The answer I got was there weren' t enough tee times to do that. Why wouldn' t there be enough times? There were quite a few groups that were already finished on Saturday when the red alert came out and all courses had groups on every target. Shooters who started at the latest possible time on Friday, which was 2:00 finished at around 6:00. So if we put everyone back on their courses Sunday where they left off on Saturday, and started fresh with the 11:30 shooting time which was where we quit on Saturday, means we finish 4 1/2 hrs before 6:00, or 1:30. (Check my addition and subtraction, but it' s close.) The other good point to this argument would have been that they wouldn' t have had to set up any new courses for the shoot-off. I' m sure the majority of shooters there, if asked, would have given their Sunday up for the opportunity to finish their 40 targets. So we let the top 5 scores on each course have a shoot-off. The World Championship was based on 40 targets without a shoot-off last year, why was it so important to have a shoot-off this year? The way this was handled about 400 people were happy and 1800 weren' t. This way everyone would have been happy except for the ones that would have fallen apart on Sunday and lost their top 5 spot to one of us just under the cut who had a legitimate chance at taking that spot. Of course this is just my opinion and obviously it doesn' t matter to anyone but me.
