When we should have been dealing with this, we were putting out another fire.
Which fire was that?
IPSC @ Barrie and No Provincials

+1 on that
Isn't it also yours? Or after stepping down from the board you also stepped down from the Ontario section?
I think the big picture here that people are forgetting is that matches are put on by VOLUNTEERS. They are not paid, nor conscripted, and in order to do a good job you need to motivate them.. If there is an existing relationship between the club and it's members who will be doing 80% of the work to put on this match, then it should be respected, and promoted. It would appear that rather then work with the group who is doing the vast majority of the work, the ruling bodies (or some of them who knows..) has decided to make the decision and say "This is what it is"..
The rules clearly say that it can be the boards decision, BUT it does not HAVE TO BE.
Heavy handed decisions tend to have this reaction by people who are doing everyone a favor to go out of their way to put on the best match possible.
It does not seem that this was well thought out before the decisions where made at the top.

Wasn't that pre 96?
You should try to be more ammusing...less annoying
I find it more entertaining to be annoying.
May have to break into Arancio's stash of old Sitreps for a reference.
My impression from those days is that after the split, the wind got taken out of the sails on some projects started prior, such as incorporation and constitutional renewal.
I believe you must have meant 'moot point' as none of us here assembled has succeeded in being mute.
The great schism was healed in the late summer of '96 I believe.
If you and Stormbringer would like to borrow my stash, I would be happy to oblige.
I have never before seen or heard of anyone accusing Stormbringer of understatement. How bizarre.
what can you say.. when you run out of toilette paper, you need something
No, just never felt the need to throw them out.

I just spit pop all over my monitor... you kill me arancio!!!
Wow.. it seems we have a new Match Policy and Procedures on the IPSC Ontario web site..
http://www.ipsc-ont.org/docs/matchpol.pdf
and one of their policies seems to contradict their perceived ability to unilaterally remove a club rep.
"At a meeting held by only the IPSC members of that club, they shall ELECT an IPSC representative or "club rep"..
there is NO statement that they need to approve or can override that decision.
-
AS for questions about the posted "constitution".. I suggest everyone look at the Jan 2010 board minutes. it's discussed there
-
Same for possible alternate sites.. the list is in the minutes as well

Again, I'm not offering my opinion on any disciplinary actions being handed out from the top. I am only replying to the above point.
As per our Constitution of 1996...
55. Such IPSC Ontario club representative is subject to acceptance by the board of directors.
