New England Division will no longer sanction Charitable Events

[qatet]

I'm pretty sure that I attended in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. I remember stories from friends of years before that, and I might have gone as well and just forgotten.

I absolutely cannot believe that I've read this thread. I feel stupider for having done so. However, I can vouch for this tournament having existed at least as far back as 1999.

I seem to recall it being a D and under in 1999 (and, presumably, earlier). Without poking around to find more information I can't reliably say when it switched to E and under.

Yeah, it was a D and a U event for all six weapons. Twelve events in one small gym. Ugh. Pretty painful. I remember getting there when the doors opened and getting back to my room (about 10 minutes away, if that) at about 8 at night.

Sorry if that was complex. It means what I intend, but may be a bit difficult for some.

Here is a more lay explanation: http://www.nizkor.org/features/falla...sequences.html

Actually, you are wrong and are attacking ad hominem at this point.

These, as has been stated before, are arguments that must specifically take the potential consequences of actions into the reasoning behind the decision. It is not a mathematical logic debate, but a consideration based on possible outcome and desired effect.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the U events, not having been eligible for them when I moved to the area.

Glad it works for them.

Thank you, we are glad too.

The inference is 'We are the only ones who know what we are doing you don't so we if we don't do it it won't be done right'.

Or: "If we work together, we can make things happen more efficiently for all the members of the division and keep entry fees, etc. under control."

[hello?]

The information that I have for the Vets Challenge, a draft which may not be the final information, is that the entry fee was $20 and the registration fee was $45.

I think this is around what I paid to fence at the Vet Challenge. I fenced the individual and the team event. Had TWO lobsters, salad, dessert, and wine. Not to mention a nice time catching up with people I had not seen in a while. Went home with two medals and a rather large plaque. I thought it was quite a bargain! (As Bill mentioned earlier, this season we were later than usual in getting the date/schedule out for this event. I personally know of some people who did not hear until it was too late to change previously made plans. A pity, but bound to happen when you have a volunteer organization made up of people with other jobs and other volunteer commitments. Also, holding it over labor day weekend might or might not have affected turnout. That's still up for discussion at our next Executive Committee meeting -- made up, by the way, by one voting member from each club plus several elected at-large members. Certainly not a dictatorship. In fact, every member of the division is invited to attend meetings and make their opinions heard -- in a forum much more effective/better suited than this thread, perhaps. However, usually, the same handful of people show up every time. The rest, don't bother/don't care about the division or how it's run -- until, of course, there's an issue that affects them personally.)

lets keep this civil, please.

Agreed, and there are certainly comments in this thread which warrant this reminder, but I don't think that the post directly above this one is one of them, and without a separate quotation, it appears that you are referring to that one (though, being a reasonable person, I'm sure you're not).

Agree with the general sentiment, just wanted to make that point.

yes, that was a general statement meant for all parties involved in this discussion/argument.

[foillion]

So instead of addressing what I said, you would rather try to have some sort of d#*%-waving contest?

Bill would win.

Head. Desk.

But yeah, just so we're clear, yes, the NEUSFA does in fact hate people with cancer.

WAHAHAHA! Telk quit your job and go write for Leno.

I'm bored.

[telkanuru]

Maybe you should do, like, work, or something.

I'm currently doing data entry. If I stare at a spreadsheet for longer than 3 hours I'm likely to do harm to myself and others. I consider the time I spent reading and laughing at your witticisms a service to humanity.
