Re: [RC] Husband and Wife Team Award - Joe LongOn Thu, 6 Mar 2003 21:15:38 -0800, "Steph Teeter" <steph@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: ... Looking toward the future - this is an award, intended to recognize accomplishments. Every other AERC award is based upon accumulated miles or points - you just keep on earning them. In no other award will a rider suddenly lose all previously accumulated points or miles, for any reason. To me, it does not seem to be within the spirit of accomplishment and achievement to disqualify (go back to zero) anybody from an award based on a mathematical formula. If they don't earn it fine, if they are trying but don't do the math, so only finish 2nd, that's fine too. But to take away all of the points previously earned seems a little odd, and it is something that we may want to reconsider. I guess that's one way of looking at it. As I see it, they haven't lost any points at all. Each still has all of their individual points towards their individual awards, as well as all of their individual season and career miles. If at season's end they qualify for the H/W award, by being married and meeting the mileage requirements, their points are totaled and the pair (who qualify) with the highest total wins. It may seem like they lost points due to the provisional listings month-by-month in Endurance News, but no points are final until season's end. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
