Hi Jim, Thanks for your reply and for re-posting my message. As is quite clear from my previous post, I too believe that the 'Constituent Members of the IP' needs a review, but I think this Selection Policy is a very big step forwards and should be seen as a separate issue, and celebrated or viewed ...

I have skimmed the Final Selection Policy 2013... :!: I thought I would share my thoughts, and pass on my appreciation for what I believe is a comprehensive document, that stipulates a very large amount of information in a concise manner. :D There are very many positives, but to note those things I ...

Ok so alot of people have raised their concern about 1 - the interpretation of the 2012 selection policy regards GBR Team pre selection 2013. The crux being Dave and Rich have been selected for a class in which they did not medal. - this seems against the intended spirit of the policy, but to stress...

Hi John/All, Where is this list of top clubs? Where is your research? (I ask, because I would like to see it, not because it doesn't exist before anyone asks, i know John is a statistical hoarder of information) I wonder, whether there is any other ways of interpreting your data?? I wonder if S&SCC ...

There is a good long term reason to have a qualification process for selection. :idea: It applies for both Senior and for U23, but I believe it is applied inaccurately due to the use of % and the limit on the number of places. Hence why both JJ and myself, relate this point to %. The good long term ...

An excellent example, which illustrates exactly my point. And hence why we need to provide guidance to our volunteers, to ensure Course Designers and Jury, tackle these issies together. I Note the 2013 GB Selection policy, has this exact concept addressed and written into it. So I assume it would be...

Hi Nick,
Thank you, for your observation. That was not my intention, this was a long post, and I was finishing in a hurry.

I concur, these sound like fair reasons. And at an international no one would dare alter the course, unless there was over whelming evidence to do so. The problem being this is not what actually happened at interclubs or else where. The actual reflection at Interclubs 2012 On Saturday, The course wa...

Nerdy or not, its good to get the rules clearly outlined and defined. However, the issue as I see it, is not the rule on height; but when the gates are set and who does this process before first runs/demo runs (or in some cases half way through the day). The issue being on many occasions, the course...

An open discussion; to test the water on this issue... Situation: In a Div 3/4 race at Stone, the course designer adjusted the course at lunch. The poles went from being fairly low, to fairly high. Adjustment is often a requirement at Stone, as the river usually rises 2-3 inches through the day. Pad...

I worry that my comments are all negative, and that is not my point, I am on here to move our sport forward. So I'll stick my neck out, here is my next positive suggestion: My suggested race calendar for next year 2013 :idea: 2/3 March - Tryweryn Prem Qualification Tryweryn Prem Semi Finals/Finals +...
