Re: [RC] Husband/Wife award motion - Joe LongThe motion should be more clear, and should include the entire awards description rather than just the proposed new wording. I'll see if I can get that corrected for the meeting so that at least the intent is clear. If we are going to pro-rate points rather than only have those where each spouse rode at least 1/3 of the total miles eligible, the rule must specify HOW the points are to be pro-rated. Do you discard the points from the last ride(s) in the ride season for the spouse who rode fartherest, until the mileage ratio is met? Do you "discard" the points from the earliest ride(s) in the ride season for the spouse who rode fartherest, until the mileage ratio is met? Do you "discard" the points from those rides having the fewest points for the spouse who rode fartherest, until the mileage ratio is met? Or, do you use a mathematical formula to adjust down the points of the spouse who rode fartherest? If so, what formula? One possibility is, "The total points for the team consists of the total points earned by the spouse who rode the fewer miles, plus the total points earned by the spouse who rode the greater miles multiplied by twice the miles of the spouse who rode the fewer miles divided by the miles of the spouse who rode the greater miles." For example, "H" rode 485 miles and earned 920 points. "W" rode 1135 miels and earned 2430 points. 920+(2430*(2*485/1135)) = 2997 or 485*2 = 970 miles 2430*970/1135 = 2077 points. 920+2077 = 2997 points for the H/W award. Unless this is specified, clearly and unambiguously, in the rule, there will be disagreement and controversy when it is applied. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
