Survey FOR ADULTS ONLY!
(Note, this is not an X rated article, but adult players may find
it exciting.)
If you are a member of an adult team (or a member of a Junior’s team
that plays in adult tournaments), the members of the Board of Directors
need your opinion about some problems they are working to solve.
There are currently four divisions of play: AA, A, BB, and B.
With four levels of play and the number of registered teams in the Region,
we periodically encounter a number of problems including:
-
There are not enough teams in each division to assure adequate competition
and tournaments;
-
Some teams seem to lose all the time;
-
Some teams seem to win all the time;
-
Teams won’t move up when they win their divisions;
-
Teams won’t register lower even if they constantly lose; and,
-
The level of play within each division in this Region doesn’t match the
level of play of the same divisions in other Regions, therefore CHRVA teams
are disadvantaged at the Nationals.
Do you perceive inequities in your division, and do you feel that this
needs to be addressed by the Board?
Yes, there are inequities, and the Board should address this problem.
Yes, there is likely a problem, but the Board should leave it alone.
No, there is no problem.
