Re: [RC] National Champion - Why not? - Joe Long

Okay, so what I am understanding is the whole
opposition to having one National Champion would be
the weight division issue? Forgive me since I am new
to all of this. I am guessing that the thread for all
of this might be on the archives? I'll check that out
first so as not to rehash old agenda.


Off the top of my head then if they weight issue is
what prevents a nucleus of opinion and decision making
then we are at a stalemate aren't we?

IMO weight divisions have been a "divisive" issue in AERC for as long as we've had them. ;^>


Truman's suggestion of requiring a minimum weight carried would require eliminating weight divisions from the NC completely. Most of us working for recognizing the overall first-to-finish as the AERC National Champion aren't asking for the weight division competition to be eliminated. Having a single, overall National Champion along with Weight Division winners would seem to me to be a good compromise.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will point out that I personally would rather see no weight divisions at all in the AERC (or at least not so damn many of them), but that's another question. As long as we have them I have no problem with the NC having them, as long as they are not at the expense of having an overall Champion.
