Default RE: Where' s ken

Ken, Thanks for responding. You had a tough job and a tough call to make. My concern is that it seems as though the officials had to make an off the cuff ruling. In other words there didn' t seem to be a contingency plan and it certainly wasn' t published. People seem to get way more upset if they don' t know the procedures ahead of time. I would like to have seen more than the top five scores taken and more than ten targets for the shootoff (I wasn' t close one way or the other). Snowshoe is a beautiful place, but traversing the courses is a little much for the average archer. Add to that the problem with the weather and it is apparent that changes are in order. I also believe that the entire area gouged our wallets big time. You have a lot of difficult decisions ahead of you. I hope the officials are receptive and responsive to the concerns of the shooters (I know you can' t please everyone). One suggestion would be to go to a golf format where a certain score would have to be shot the first day in order to make the cut for the second day. Shooters that do not make the cut would be eligible for a 30 target trophy shoot to be shot at their leisure on either Sat or Sun. That way in case of bad weather on the second day (like this year) it would be easier to get the championship shooters through the course because alot would be cut after the first day. Even those that are cut would get targets in for the weekend. There are alot of scenarios, but you get the picture. What ever is decided there should be a basic SOP published so that the general membership has some idea and can comment. There are alot of creative minds in the IBO. Please avail yourself of some of the better ideas to improve the organization. Thanks, Steve
