What is the point in having a "preference" if it is not a "requirement"?]]> Gilligan SN Board of Directors Mon, 27 Dec 2010 11:48:57 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185598#msg-185598 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185598#msg-185598
I just don't want to see us limit our ability for new tourney types......example: SN NIGHT GOLF series with a possible SN NIGHT GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP - could be done by cities and towns registering their Night Golf events (usually single round events) and possibly one day growing into a "mini-series" with a Glo Championship......

Just an example.....SN might decide as a whole not to sanction such an endeavour, but if it is a "Players Series" then demand might win the day (along with volunteer support) and then the BoD (I'd hope) would step up and say "Great" this is how it can be sanctioned......1 round tourney = SN Fee of $1 per player HOWEVER one must play in 2 such events to qualify for the SN Championships.....(or go te Glo only points with Glo only Championship route) - the point is to be open and look to the reasons behind the sanctioning request.....

That is what the guideline SHOULD do....

Hope all had a great holiday....Griff]]> bryan griffin SN Board of Directors Mon, 27 Dec 2010 11:06:49 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185357#msg-185357 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185357#msg-185357 Gilligan SN Board of Directors Sat, 18 Dec 2010 09:51:46 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185345#msg-185345 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185345#msg-185345 TheZinger SN Board of Directors Fri, 17 Dec 2010 23:29:37 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185338#msg-185338 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185338#msg-185338 Gilligan SN Board of Directors Fri, 17 Dec 2010 21:49:27 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185324#msg-185324 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185324#msg-185324
Preferred event, minimum holes, 18 x 2 rounds. If you want something less, seek a waiver from the BoD PRIOR to the event. Sounds a lot like a zoning variance.

Since many TDs at least browse the forum, this should be common knowledge, but it's another item that could be posted on local bulletin boards for those who might need to know.

Good way to keep the rule in place and offer an alternative in special circumstances.

So it is still not OK to sanction tournaments not meeting that criteria... it's just not a strict NO right off the bat. "No" is still a perfectly acceptable answer if the board rules that way. I hope we would all agree with that.]]> Gilligan SN Board of Directors Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:02:46 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185297#msg-185297 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185297#msg-185297 bryan griffin SN Board of Directors Fri, 17 Dec 2010 11:25:52 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185225#msg-185225 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185225#msg-185225

and kudos on the right decision on LR......

I would also add the BOD should consider the suggestion of using some type of "guideline" on the sanctioning of a tourney less than 2 rounds of 18...
using something to the effect "the spirit of this guideline is to prevent a tournament from being scheduled with limited notice for the purpose of circumventing the guidelines referencing qualification for the Championships".....

thanks....Peace out....]]> bryan griffin SN Board of Directors Thu, 16 Dec 2010 15:16:36 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185173#msg-185173 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185173#msg-185173 Gilligan SN Board of Directors Wed, 15 Dec 2010 22:18:30 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185170#msg-185170 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185170#msg-185170

I actually NEVER voted one way or the other on this issue. I just re-looked at the log and all I ever did was ask where I did vote because I got a yes and a no vote attributed to my name and I never once voted either way actually.

Also, it was mentioned by several of the yes votes that the reason the Little Rock tournament got sanctioned was due to the fact that there was no clear and concise guideline publish. That is now about to be rectified.]]> Gilligan SN Board of Directors Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:44:03 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185164#msg-185164 Re: BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185164#msg-185164 Rob Williams SN Board of Directors Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:39:01 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185162#msg-185162 BOD Minutes 12/15/10 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?4,185162,185162#msg-185162
