Re: [RC] New incentive to enter 100's - Barbara McCrary
Jeri, that was part of the discussion when I was on the
board. It was suggested that if one entered the higher mileage and didn't
finish or quit at the lower mileage, one would get credit for the mileage
completed. Again...commitment. If one enters the lower mileage and
still has the horse and appetite for the longer distance, then elevate!
But to quite before finishing the distance entered and still get credit for what
you finished....no, I don't think so! Interesting how the same issues come
up every so often.
Sounds like a no-brainer to say NO to that rule. If you
enter a certain distance and don't complete that distance, you didn't
complete! How hard is that to figure? The best way to go about
something like that might be as an elevator ride. Enter the 50 or 75,
then if you're having a good day, elevate to the 100.

At Yellow Hammer this past weekend, an annoucement was made about a
suggestion for a new rule. It went something like
this: if you enter a 100 and get pulled 50+ or 75+ miles, you would
still get credit for the 50 or 75 miles that you did ride. The
announcer - I didn't catch the name - wanted us to contact our
directors to voice our opinions on it.
My knee jerk reaction was no way! Am I just resisting
change? What does every one else think?
