Getting Club Championships restarted
|
|
Why We Stopped
|
|
|
Sometime, perhaps 1996, the club stopped producing a club champion from its
events. Traditionally the club champion had been the highest placing club
member from a designated club championship monthly event. For several
years there had been some dissatisfaction with the fact that often the club
champion was not the winner of the event and could easily not even be a
place finisher. In addition, the clubs strongest players may have been
eliminated due to strong non-members who participated. In short, there
were many perceived deficiencies in the way the club champion was being
determined. |
|
|
After a year or two of no championships and people expressing a desire and
the opinion that the club should have a champion, a series of intense discussions were held, position papers put forward and committee meetings
held but a redesign of the championships was never fully worked out and
agreed upon. |
|
|
At the end of 2002 the club re-incorporated and organized itself around the
idea of Program areas with Program Director for each program. Since
there was currently no Championship event and thus no program, the Monthly
Tournament Director, Jim Krycka took it upon himself to put forward an idea
for the format of a new club championships that would integrate well
into the recently revamped Monthly Tournament prize structure. Jim
formed a committee which which put forward a proposal, solicited comments
from historically interested parties and then sought and obtained approval
by the Board. |
