Heres something to spark some lively debate.
I am now on the KCBS Research and Development committee, so here is a chance for us(The Brethren) to speak up and have input into some KCBS projects.
One of the projects is an award for 'Rookie of the Year'. Now, with that in mind, lets have some input on how this can be done. What are the gotcha's, what are the possibilities.. This is input I will compile and bring to the committee meeting.
So to start with some thoughts,
Who would qualify?
How can it be verified/policed?
Here are some scenarios to start with.
1 - A brand new pitboss comes out of the backyard, been coookig for years....and now competes in his first ever event(and wins).. Yup, He/she IS a rookie.
2 - Someone who has participated on a team for 2-3 years. A handful of events per year, (lets say 3-4). He starts his own team and competes on his own for the first time.. Is HE/SHE a rookie?
3 - Someone who has competed ONCE on a team to try it, got bit by the bug and started his own team.. is he a rookie?
-->> Insert more scenarios onto discussion..
Now.. how is this policed? How do we make sure someone who has been on a team for years and has done 50 contests, does NOT qualify as a rookie, or sign up as one.. What, if any checks and balances can you think up that we can use. ??
so.. heres our first challenge.... Lets Discuss..:wink:
