I wonder what happened?
Glen,
RMDIV set up this event a bit differently in that they restricted RM Championships to only RM members. Therefore if someone from RMDIV finished 3rd in a class, but they were the highest finishing RMDIV person in that class (first and second form outside the Div), they would be the RMDIV Solo Champion. This was set up this way to encourage “locals” to participate as they would not have to concern themselves with out of town “ringers”, at least relative to the RMDIV scoring.
This method is not common, but it has been done in the past.

No mention of the fact that only RM people would be eligible for that Divisional!The very first SCCA Solo Triad quest begins this weekend, with Southeast Division commencing its three-event championship series. Old Dominion Region will host the event, which will take place at ACU-4 Naval Amphibious Base in Norfolk, Va. More information can be found at http://www.sedivsolo2.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Also close at hand is the Rocky Mountain Divisional Championships, scheduled for May 16 – 17, to be held in conjunction with the Tire Rack National Tour event at McGee Park in Farmington, N.M.

I don't think you're reading the chart right, Andrew. Only the highlighted ones are eligible for the Triad award.Andrew Bingham wrote:The guy who got the CS Solo Triad Award credit for Farmington, Robert Godby, came in LAST in CS at the event against no other competition from the RM region.
What a load of bullshit!
He's not eligible for the award (because he didn't win a 2nd event), but he did receive credit for that event as a 'win' despite being last...Leonard Cachola wrote:I don't think you're reading the chart right, Andrew.

And the worst part, and probably the stupidest reason for SCCA allowing this stuff, is that it cheapens the achievement. It means nothing if the competition isn't compeltely above board. If I was the SCCA, I would've cut this off at the knees and ensured that it never happens again.Leonard Cachola wrote:Ah, I get it now.Andrew Bingham wrote:

But it means that we could do the same thing. I can see why they did it. Kinda like why we pulled the Divisional entrants out last year for the Championship. Some of those hot shoes could have really done some damage in some classes and some locals just might have skipped the event if it wasn't a two-day event.Kurt Rahn wrote:And the worst part, and probably the stupidest reason for SCCA allowing this stuff, is that it cheapens the achievement.
