From a ride managers view point, there is the practical problem of how 
many T- shirts to get. If you get too many, then you are stuck with them 
if they are dated and are out the money. If you get too few then someone 
doesn't get an award. Many ride managers have a difficult time 
determining how many people will show. I know of at least one ride that 
expected 19 and 100 showed up. Undated awards are a way to mitigate this 
problem. No you will not get additional people but you will not get 
stuck with the expense of too many shirts or get stuck not having enough.

So if riders want dated awards then they should support the ride 
managers and let them know they are coming to the ride and not make the 
RM use a crystal ball.

BTW my ROC buckle doesn't have a date on it and I'm just as proud of it 
and the horse that won it, data or no date.
