STEVE, I THINK YOU IDEA IS GREAT AND I LIKE IT. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO ALSO TRY TO THINK OF PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT ARISE WITH EVERY IDEA WE THINK OF, SO WE DONT HAVE A PROBLEM LATER. IF ITS OK, I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY DEVILS ADVOCATE. I DO FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SPLIT WOULD WORK WELL, BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF EVERYONE DECIDES TO SHOOT IN THE DIVISION "B" WITH THE HIGHER PAYOUT? SHOULD EVERYONE START IN THE "A" CLASS THEN MOVE OUT? WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO SHOULD PROBABLY BE IN "B" CLASS THAT WILL SHOOT IN THE "A" JUST BECAUSE THEY WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO GET IN THE MONEY, EVEN THOUGH THE PAYOUT IS LESS (A LOT OF A LITTLE IS MORE THAN NOTHING OF A LOT). I LIKE THE IDEA OF EQUAL PAYOUT AS OTHER CLASSES FOR THE "B". I ALSO LIKE THE FLIGHT IDEA AS WELL. BUT, WHAT DO WE START WITH TO SUGGEST CHANGES AND COME TO SOMETHING MORE DEFINATE? MAYBE KEN CAN ELABORATE MORE ON THIS BEFORE NELSONVILLE IF HE CAN OR AFTER, I DONT THINK THE BOARD MEETS UNTIL SEPTEMBER OR SO. I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF A SPLIT CLASS, WITH THE SAME CLASS RULES APPLYING AS THEY ARE NOW. BUT HOW DO WE ALL COME TO A CONCENSUS ON WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. I REALIZE THAT I MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO PUT THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN ONE OF THESE THINGS. I WOULD HOWEVER LIKE TO AT LEAST FINISH IN THE TOP TEN ONCE AND A WHILE (OK, AT LEAST ONCE), BUT I ALSO DONT WANT THAT CLASS TAYLORED JUST TO ME TO GIVE ME THE ADVANTAGE. IF I GET THERE, I WANT IT TO BE ON MY OWN MERITS, AS I AM SURE THE REST OF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS, A CLASS WHERE A NEWCOMER CAN SHOOT WITH HIS BUDDIES (BUT NOT COMPETE WITH THEM, AND NOT HAVE TO HAVE A MANDATORY MEMBERSHIP) WHO ARE REGULARS WITHOUT GETTING WHIPPED ON, THOSE WHO WANT THE HIGHER LEVEL OF COMPETITION TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT FOR MORE OF A PAYOUT THAN THE FIXED LIMIT. LETS KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING, AND WE MAY DISCOVER SOMETHING. SOMEONE STATED EARLIER THAT THEY THINK THE MEMBERSHIP SHOULD BE REQUIRED, BUT YOU DONT PAY TIES TO A CHURCH WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEIR DOCTRINE IS, YOU GO TO A FEW MEETINGS TO SEE WHAT YOU THINK FIRST. NOW, THOSE OF US WHO ARE ALREADY MEMBERS WONT DROP OUR MEMBERSHIPS TO SHOOT THIS CLASS, I LIKE BEING A MEMBER, AND APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH, BUT I REALLY LIKE THE MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION AS A PLUS. THANKS, BUTCHB
