Putting on a dual sanctioned FEI ride

["Michael Maul" <Michael.Maul@nsc.com>]

After I posted the note this morning about a SE ride not going to sanction for
FEI after all - I have received several notes on the topic. This was for the 
on-line ride calendar.

I believe that if we are to have FEI rides in the coming season - we need
to address the issues below or there will continue to be RMs not putting on
FEI rides.  

Ride managers are trying to decide now whether to have a regular/FEI ride
in the 2001 season.  I may be wrong but there does not seem to be a clear
statement of what is required to do this - extra costs - additional rules -
how it affects the regular ride....

My suggestion would be to have a RM who has been thru the process - or one
who understands it very well - put up a balance sheet of income/expenses
and clearly show the additional costs for a dual sanctioned ride. And show 
how you might determine the additional costs you have to charge for the 
FEI entries.
