Has the council decided if there are any rule changes in order for this year?
I read through the ol hand book and didn't pick any up, however I didn't scrutinize too much.

There have not been any rules changes.

So what you're saying is that I can place in the top three at every show,before finals week. Go on a 14 show win streak, and still place 8th at the end of the year?

I can take dropping to fourth as a 1/2 to a 3/4 drop is fairly realistic. but a 1/2 to the 7/8 slot? It has never happened.

I still think there should be greater incentives for performing well early in the season. The only year that I really NEEDED the extra caption changes was 2006, and I just lucked out that year, we didn't even have that system in place


At Least hand out medals to shows where there are 4 or less at the show... they do in real life... even Pioneer gets a medal from time to time.

I'm not saying implement haphazardly for this season, but get a beta system worked out during the season. test and tweak. It can all be done on paper. Yes I have that type of time on a bus.

I'm not sure what you're replying to here, and medals have nothing to do with anything. They're graphics that serve no actual purpose.

I was really just complaining. and drunk....
but I was offering my service to come up with a system that works well. Separate from this years running, subject to review from the board.
I don't know how to write any sort of scripts, but I can do it on paper with no problem.
Then PDF it, send it to the board.

as for the medals, I know what they are/aren't. I just like seeing all of those medals in a row on my page.

Well we certainly welcome any and all suggestions from anyone, so if you want to write up something while in a sober and coherent state, feel free!

And on another note, I made a slight boo boo in something that made scheduling available to everyone right off the bat. This year, however, I have decided to only allow scheduling to Division 1 fantasy corps until registration has ended and then opening scheduling to everyone. I have done this so we would not have to make fantasy corps redo their schedule if they are promoted. It's just simpler this way. It also prevents (somewhat) lop-sided shows.

Anyway, I have removed everyone's schedule who is not division 1. Scheduling will open up to everyone on 02 June.

As always, if anyone runs into an error, something they don't quite understand, or have any questions, comments, or suggestions... don't hesitate to post!

OMFG!! Seriously?!?! I spent so much time tweaking and analyzing and... oh well...c'est la vie

yup.. the schedual is completely un-important right in the current system anyway.

HEY HEY HEY NOW. What is that supposed to mean?



We're working on it, I promise.

Yeah. They're getting better every day.
