FOC meeting

[Fencingnina]

does any one know whay exactly happened inf the FOC meeting
which took place last week???

[Guymelef]

For one thing they made a calendar with tournaments and contact information.

[KD5MDK]

Nothing else has been release so far. What are you looking for?

[Mr Epee]

I hope they had the foresight to set up a gmail account, so they can start collecting everyone's ideas and creating a volunteer referee database.

Just so we're all on the same page... organizationally speaking.

Sam Cheris was elected FOC Chair.

Some people got higher ratings (as at any FOC meeting).

Some people got lower ratings (a change in policy to allow the FOC to lower ratings).

A push list was established to identify the promising young referees who the FOC wants to groom.

Wow. I did not know they are planning to lower ratings. I think its a step in the right direction, but I wonder if it will make the "victems" of this policy lose interest in reffing. I'm curious to see how it turns out. (And who they lower )

Did the FOC discuss the foil bib legal target issue?

[Allen Evans]

Wow. I did not know they are planning to lower ratings.

It's always been my understanding that ratings are routinely dropped when a referee isn't active in a particular rating in that weapon. I know my own level has gone up and down depending on the amount of refereeing that I do (mostly down, lately).

This isn't the same thing. This would be having ratings reduced for performance issues, which is a much bigger can of worms.

I assume that I could find out the first two by looking though fred long enough.

I also assume that the third isn't exactly public record....

but is there any chance that the first two are a list somewhere (that the public might get)? Spending that much time on Fred wasn't exactly on my list of things to do in the near future....

It looks like peet's auto-decrease script ran. I'm looking for signs of any promotions or other actions taken.

Looks to me like the updates from the meeting have not been entered yet. Peet's script has dropped my 3 in epee to a 4, and I'm told that should still be a three.

I also know of at least one ratings decrease which hasn't been implemented yet (no, I'm not willing to provide details).

Then what's the ****ing point of mentioning it?

Im guessing it runs automatically on the 31st. Looking at the FOC themselves I dont see the yearly updates there, so i dont think the updates are in from the meeting.

[epeemike81]

As further evidence (beyond my own ratings) that Fred hasn't, in fact, been updated.

Did the FOC discuss the foil bib legal target issue?

Since that and front foot landing are changes to the rule book I would think that those changes need to be ratified by the BOD, though a recamendation would be expected from the FOC.

[KD5MDK]

There is a motion in the agenda to adopt the rule changes that were provided in an attachment. The attachment was not available in Brad's agenda posting. Presumably that could cover it.

Doug Findlay must have done a terrible job at the Olympics or there's an error in the script. His foil rating has gone from 1 to blank.

The dreaded Blank-spot They're marking refs for execution now!

It appears that his foil rating is now listed under his FIE rating...
