Our normal procedure is events that wish to be a part of our Team of the Year race pay $500 plus one team entry for us to raffle off with proceeds going to one of our Club Supported Charities.
In 2010, we did not have any event pay, all of them said they wanted to see how it went and if it went well, they would certainly do it in 2011. Well, now that 2011 is coming about, they are still not willing to pay.
The money ($500) is earmarked to go into a fund that is solely for our Team of the Year fund to cover trophies and hopefully, some sort of cash payout to the teams.
So, the question is, what events do we count toward our Team of the Year? If we count all events that happen in Arizona, do we give added value to the events that support the club & the Team of the Year race as opposed to the ones that don't?
For Example, this year, all the teams who won Team of the Year for the overall as well as the individual categories had a great showing at the Havasu event. In 2011, they have decided they do NOT want to be part of the Team of the Year race. Do we exclude this event or do we count it, but at a lesser value than an event that does support the race?
