Initially lets vote for either:
A) Adding a Sprint to the SS, with the new Sprint parameters to be
defined by the entire CAC by a quick second vote if (A) prevails
or
B) Make no changes to the Sweepstakes >>
Hi Lew-
I vote for Option B) Make no changes. As I have stated here before, the
serious contesters in my Division seem to be almost unanimous in their
opposition to a short Sprint category being added, as they feel it will only
siphon offf participation in the whole contest by those who would choose to
enter just the Sprint category, and that it would fundamentally change the
nature of the Sweepstakes contest in a negative way. They feel that
participaion awards would be a better way to stimulate participation by
casual contesters.
