Morphire Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Awards:Plaques and Cash Awards based on order of finish and division participation Prizes by random drawing (must be present to win) Must be present to win random prizes? Is that to save you from having to ship items? If so then if someone is there to pick up a prize for someone would they still be eligible to win said prize? If not then what is your reasoning behind that policy? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Kevin, The policy has been around since before I became Match Director so I can't speak to the original intent, but I can think of a number of reasons for it. 1. Yes, it saves on shipping and a lot of work if someone isn't there to get their prize. 2. We will be giving away guns on the table again this year and being there to fill out the paperwork is helpful for that process. 3. When the match was first getting started there were a number of years where not everyone got a prize so it was unfair to those that did stick around for awards, etc. 4. It encourages shooters to stick around for the awards and prizes which gives more exposure (and business) to our vendors and sponsors. We know everyone needs to get home after the match is over, and some have very long drives ahead, but we try to keep the match moving quickly enough and finish early enough on Sunday so that everyone gets a reasonable start on their way.

225 Fireman Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Printed my app last night and will mail it Tuesday when I get off of work. Always a great match with great stages and people cant wait. Do y'all know if the Holiday Inn is going to be one of the match hotels again this year??

John Heiter Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Most likely the match hotels will be the same this year as last year (The Comfort Inn and the Holiday Inn Express in Byram, MS) but I am still playing them off each other trying to negotiate a better rate for our group discount. I should have that done by the middle of this coming week. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealousy is a terrible thing. Just because we know how to have fun and get all the cool chicks due to our greater skills and great style. Not to mention that since we don't have to have optic sights, we can see well enough to pick out the cool chicks from the hens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I swear to you, if you tell me this year that "My dog ate my application", I WILL BELIEVE YOU!!! The scary thing is that the USPS did that to your entry last year BEFORE they made all the recent budget cuts and advised their quality of service may have to go down as a result.
