            1. STQT format

                        a) Recent discussion on the discussion page has again brought up a change

in STQT Format. As it so happens, as I was preparing the agenda I looked

at last years agenda for the same meeting and we had a similar discussion

just last year.

8) STQT Format

a.      Recent discussion has shown the need for discussion on changing the STQT format. Not the one tournament format, but the idea of the decision making process changing.

b.      Bryan Myers had a excellent idea of having the clubs host the STQT in the same fashion as the states host the Divisionals. I would like Bryan or his designee to explain this idea.

c.       I have an idea to split the state into 2 regions. West Slope and East Slope.

d.      The clubs in each region decide on and put together a STQT.

e.       The state team is made up of the percentages of competitors from each STQT as compared to the total number of competitors.

f.        Tournament director has control of both STQT’s, but can designate individuals to assist him.

g.      Main advantage, boost club involvement. The more involved clubs, the more state team members come from that STQT.

b)      I do not want to loose control of the meeting at this point. We will limit discussion of this important topic to 1 hour. Plenty of time for both sides of the discussion to voice their opinions. If a complete proposal is available we will consider it on it’s merits. Things to consider;

1)      2009’s Tournament Director isn’t elected/appointed yet

2)      We have a existing format that is in effect through 2009 that would have to be repealed before any new format could take effect

3)      Everyone agrees that if it cannot happen at this meeting, we table the discussion until January 2010. Our August meeting will be to plan the STQT with the format in effect at the conclusion of THIS meeting.

4)      The board needs to see how the federation will be impacted financially from a new format

5)      Proposed first year lake locations and dates should be included in the proposal

5) Next meeting August 16, 2008  Location?
