members meeting

Anyone heard of when/where the members meeting will be this year??

I thought they gave up on those.

Last years was the NAIL IN THE COFFIN....


4 ppl showed up and years ago at the last one before we begged for last years was a wopping 6ppl so yeah ummmmm its done....LOL

the biggest problem with that is competitors are all across the us! i mean are you really gonna drive 20 hours for a couple hour meeting on rules??? if they could do a online 1 at a specified time and everybody can login or something like that then maybe but people are just too spread out to make everybody happy everybody is gonna want it close to them and it cant be conveniant for everybody at least this is what i see as the main problem along with alot of other rules problems!

Friday before finals would be best! But never happens.

What about our wonderful USACi chat room or a similar online service?

If we choose a date and time... get a bunch of people together (including a mod or two) ... talk through the issues in an orderly fashion.

Would that accomplish what's necessary or do we need to be face-to-face?

If you do a chat room it would be chaotic, so many talking at once you would lose track.

Before Finals is the IDEA SOLUTION, problem is everyone comes in at different times. I would say Thursday night before finals would be the best because Friday night it is hetic getting everyone in position in the hall plus all the other work we have to do to get ready for finals.

How does everyone like the fact it would be Thursday night before Finals?

then how about take in suggestions for a 24 hour period of time, bring them to the competitors and u must use ur member ID in order to vote... 1 vote per class.


remember aint no way in hell its gonna be perfect and it aint gonna make everyone happy, nor will it be perfect in 1 year but changes can be made

I think. Most could be there if we did it at 10:00 friday night after they kick us out of the hall. We could have it at that classy place the after party was at or something.

I think that the thursday before finals would be best - I've seen some of what the judges go through on friday, and if I was them, I'd want to kick back with a cold one (or 10), and relax.

This wouldn't work for everyone, but for me, after getting to the hall, getting the car cleaned up and ready, I'm usually ready to crash, I wouldn't want to be up till midnight or later, just to be up at 6am to get ready for judging.

Who sleeps at finals?....lol

I hate to say it fish, but I'm gettin old-
I'm lucky to make it past the 10 o'clock news anymore.lol
