Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] Completion vs. Race was HRM - Charles
I don't see the increase in
efficiency in the use of volunteers. If you split the volunteers there
will be a tendency for folks to say "oh, we are "completion" and it's slow on
our side so we can take a break and recover from that rush". If you don't
split them, then they are still running around just like before.
Also, I'll go with the upgrade
issue, what if you plan for completion but find halfway that things are going
great and want to do Race instead? Or, what if the line at the Race side
is so long that it would be faster to go through Completion, do you get that
option?
On using HRM's, I have no problem
and would actually prefer it. I'll take machine error over human error
every time. It tends to be a bit more consistent.

Vet Check Poll
Hi all, Don't know if this has already been suggested, but
Matthew called yesterday with an idea for streamlining the VC process and
addressing the concern about racers meeting the 15-minute window due to
logistics. It is basically having two pulse boxes -- one with a big sign
"RACE" and the other with a big sign "COMPLETE" (or whatever language we
choose). Those competing for a placing will have no more traffic --- and
probably a lot less -- than they would currently, with everyone, regardless of
intention, jostling for position in the pulse line. Those in the completion
queue would go about their business at their chosen, non-frantic pace.
