Subject: [CAC-I:403] CAC Study Area #3 - Kickoff package
Study Area #3
Submission of individual scores to more than one club's score
BACKGROUND:
This topic was not mentioned in any input data provided to this
committee from our original tasking by the MSC. This area of the study
was the second most discussed issue in phase one of the study. Four
proposed changes were produced during the initial phase and are
identified below.
BACKGROUND MATERIAL:
Letter from The Order of Boiled Owls. Copy of the letter is found here:
http://members.home.net/estearns1/CAC/club%20competition%20doc1.htm
PRIOR DISCUSSION (From Section 5.3 of interim report):
"Current rules do not specifically state that a participant may not
submit scores for more than one club for the basis of club competition;
however, the contest branch has interpreted the rules to only allow for
scores to be submitted for one club. Several clubs (NCCC, PVRC, MWA,
REDXA, RCC) have requested that a participant be allowed to submit a
score for EITHER a "Medium" or an "Unlimited" club AND a "Local Club".
The argument here was that many participants are members of both a local
amateur club as well as a regional organization, and to require that
member to select which club for which they desire to submit their score
can create undue hardship and animosity. Only one club (HVCDX) came out
opposed to this suggestion."
PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED CHANGES:
PhaseI-3-1:
Permit an individual operator's score to be split between two clubs in
which the operator meets all membership criteria (residence and
attendance standards). One of the two clubs must be in the Unlimited
Class and one in the Medium. (This process may be difficult to manage
since a Medium Class club may not know how many logs have been submitted
and may not remain in the Medium Class.) The individual's score will be
equally divided between the two clubs.
PhaseI-3-2
This proposal is the same as PhaseI-3-1with the ability to define the
allocation of the score between the two clubs.
PhaseI-3-3
Permit an individual operator's score to be divided equally between any
two clubs in which the operator meets all membership criteria (residence
and attendance standards).
PhaseI-3-4
This proposal is the same as PhaseI-3-3 with the ability to define the
allocation of the score between the two clubs.
OTHER INFORMATION:
I have received some comments from elements in the League that there is
an issue with any proposal produced so far in this area. If a contest
participant submits a score to both an Unlimited Club and a Medium
Club's score, this added submission to the Medium Club's log count might
put that club over the 50 log limit and move it to the Unlimited Class.
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to resolve these types of
issues by the Contest Department. The extra effort required by the
League to resolve this dilemma is not desirable. Any change to the rules
in this area should take this issue into account.
WHAT TO DO:
Review and ponder the enclosed material. Jim Pratt made a well-framed
comment earlier today on this topic. Please submit any ideas on how to
address the concern. To keep things straight, identify any new proposal
with a name that contains your callsign and a sequential number (keep a
track of your own numbers?I have plenty to do).
Please submit all suggestions by 30 August. Voting to be completed 3
September.
Regards.
