Point Series Changes

Submitted by Sibylle on 14 April, 2009 - 13:25

The Club Fat Ass Point Series is our most popular contest. The series was conceived to recognize attendance at Club events. It has grown to encourage Club members and guests to promote the Club, Club events and Club values.

Club members are a competitive bunch and competition for the bragging rights and spoils of winning the series is intense. From time to time, we have to take a step back and ask the question, "What activities should earn a coveted Club Point?"

Your Club Steering Committee has spent countless hours debating this issue... but we'd rather be running!  So, dear member or member-to-be, we decided the best approach would be to ask you to vote.

This little referendum has 4 simple questions and will take you less than an minute to answer.  It's anonymous (as long as you are not logged in on this site).  You get one vote.  You have the month of April to exercise your vote. 

Participants in Club Fat Ass events can earn 2 event points per event: 1 point for early registration and 1 for attendance.  Remote runs would be runs that are run in a different location than the actual event and the runner was not present at the start or finish.

Event Hosts of scheduled events currently receive 1 host point for each event they host.  We propose that Flash Event Hosts will receive a host point for each Flash Event they host. 

Some of you expressed concerns that in order to gain points, members might post weekly training runs as Flash Events.  To avoid this which of the above attributes should be in place for a Flash Event to count toward the Point Series?  Select all that you feel are appropriate. 

The steering committee recommends that the changes to how to earn points (if adopted) will be implemented retroactively starting 1 January 2009
