I don’t know what they’re proposing, but we have
teams here in the NW – some are fiercely competitive, others are social
organizations and just for fun. Seems to help people get to a lot of rides. The
way we work it is that there’s 15 to a team, 3 completions in any distance
on the same ride gains points. The really active teams sometimes get points in
2 or even 3 distances in the same ride.
We have a lot of fun with it – might have the same
benefits nationally.

I
doubt AERC will initiate Teams as another Award. There are already to
many anyway. It seems we must have 100 winners for awards already.
There are already a few AERC events that have or had a Team Award. The
ROC and the OD are first 2 that come to mind.
As
i said it is a novel way to get a finishing criteria geared towards a
goal. Its strange but i think FEI has something here and i pretty much
gave up on the FEI hassle but still think this is a good way to build
commardrie and team playing geared towards finishing. I wish the USA FEI
Squad played more Team and wasn't predicated on the individual.ts
