Mostly, though, and I know this is an unpopular position with some folks (*cough*Art*cough*), I think it builds animosity between the clubs. People are never happy with the way the points are calculated, and people bicker about it, and take it a little too seriously. I've heard we're actually supposed to be doing this stuff because it's
fun.
I know, I know, it's a radical idea. I fully expect to be impeached.

Correction: You WANT to be impeached. So we'll never do it.
If the club cup generates more interest in the NCAC, then it's OK, even if the current rules may not favor us. I would much rather have us wow the other clubs with a huge THSCC turnout (regardless of class) and a flawlessly run event.
At this point I'll again suggest that we go back to the old 2-day event format where we run the same course both days. Your best time from the entire weekend is the one that counts for the NCAC and the
THSCC points event.
Advantages:
1) Allows people who cannot attend both days to have a chance (not as good a chance, but a chance) to compete for trophies. I'll bet there are some folks who are skipping since they can't be there both days.
2) Since the event is local, it might encourage some of the retired or semi-retired THSCC hot shoes to make a one day appearance and help THSCC in its club cup bid.
3) The event chairs and VPs don't have to stay late Saturday night to set up a 2nd course.
4) Only need one course map.
5) Less work for the registrar and T&S
5a) Year-long season pass holders don't have to sign up/pay separately for Saturday.
6) If someone gripes that "This isn't how an SCCA regional is run", we'll sincerely promise to "see what we can do about that" and send them away.
WLC Y'all!
