Re: [RC] another proposal - Jim HollandSteph Teeter wrote: Jim - your comment regarding Top Ten and points is not quite true. You say: "Keep in mind that if you are not in the Top Ten, then AERC points are the same, whether you are 11th or 101st. " On the contrary, all of the Regional points awards are based upon weight division points, not overall points. If a rider is concerned about Regional awards, then overall Top Ten is arbitrary. Guess I'm confused. As I understand it, Matthew's proposal does not apply to weight divisions. You could race all you want within your weight division. Are you saying that being say "1st Lighweight" and 5th place overall at a ride would me more regional points than being "1st Lightweight" and 11th place overall? That was not the way I understood that it worked. Here's my proposal: (and I really mean this) Let's completely abolish the current point system. Let's get rid of the points system. Let each day, each ride/race, be the only determining factor for how we ride and what we ask of our horses. Steph I would agree to that.....but IMHO, too "radical" a change to get that through the BoD. You and I would never live to see it. I assume your proposal would not eliminate the awards associted with the "many miles, one horse" awards....just the points awards.
