RE: [RC] Husband and Wife Team Award - Steph Teeter

Good heavens Bob. This has nothing to do with anybody's popularity. And this
years winners won according to the award specification. They did an
excellent job, managed their rides, their horses, their goals, to the
ultimate. They certainly deserve this award. To win many of these awards
requires paying attention - and the one's that lost it by going over the
limit simply weren't paying attention. They are not resentful at all, so
please don't get carried away with the personality aspect.

Looking toward the future - this is an award, intended to recognize
accomplishments. Every other AERC award is based upon accumulated miles or
points - you just keep on earning them. In no other award will a rider
suddenly lose all previously accumulated points or miles, for any reason. To
me, it does not seem to be within the spirit of accomplishment and
achievement to disqualify (go back to zero) anybody from an award based on a
mathematical formula. If they don't earn it fine, if they are trying but
don't do the math, so only finish 2nd, that's fine too.  But to take away
all of the points previously earned seems a little odd, and it is something
that we may want to reconsider.

Once again - this year's winners earned the award, they rode well all year
long. They deserve the award, and the recognition. Truly a job well done.

Steph

Joe:

As I understand the problem, a popular couple missed out on
the award because they did not meet the proportional
requirements. They made a mistake and thus missed out when
they thought they had it in the bag.
