Was the "don't score it if you can't read it" approach tried? That
might
result in people are more upset (since they didn't have time to fix it), but
the total number of people who had to change numbers might be smaller? I
suppose it depends on the event too... Hmmm. It'd just be interesting to
know the percentage of complaints for each method :-) :-)
Another question... Am I the only one that enters Solo events for fun
anymore? It seems like we (SCCA at least) are on the trend of trying to make
everything look like a professional event, just for the sake of being
professional. This seems to lead to less fun and more work...
Agree/disagree?
Also, it seems we're on a big push with the motto that "bigger is
better".
Everyone wants bigger events, events are being cancelled for "lack of
participation" when more cars show up than would have made up 2 events just a
few years ago. Seems like we're just becoming a business (which is good for
making things "bigger", but is it better?) and we've lost the "fun" of the
club... Comments?
