price to play IPSC

But, is having the option of paying not to help going to raise the expectation that this will be avaliable at every match. I have a small worry that MD are going to catch flack simply because they cannot organize students, scouts whatever to work the match. Everybody will show and be expecting not to work. I think it could be an excellent idea for level three matches, could add the extra $10 to match fees, but then were back at the origional argument, who sees the value in hiring workers?

I would say patching is a great way to pass the time... I think at matches that require you to be there for 4 days 2 work (dedicated patchers) and 2 days to compete or half days... if a match director wants to charge 10,20,30 40 whatever so you can opt out that option is for the Match director and host club to decide. RM's C/RO's score keepers could be given a discount for their effort. IF the cost is high enough to opt out there won't be alot of takers but if if there are a lot of takers the MD should make sure there is a pool of workers who would be willing to work the event "IF needed" before making that an option to competitors.

If not, like you said, it will cause such havoc that no one will ever offer it again... there just needs to be one match to determine if it was a success or not ... worth it or not and can make reconmendations based on that event to continue or not... I think it's a worthwhile suggestion and could help out at larger events for both the competitors and local kids and host club if done properly.
 
personaly i dont find the price of the bb course to be the barrier for me its finding a course to go to, there was 1 last month in cornwall and the next isnt untill sept and its spread out over 2 weeks if more courses were available i think more people would take them as for retaining members after the first year how much of that is because renewal notices arent sent out and people just forget?

ive bought all the stuff just hoping a course will show up soon

Must be another Ontario thing! Out here you have to work two courses with an instructor and teach one under the supervision of an instructor plus an Alberta Rule is you must be at least an RO. Of course the instructor that you are working with has to make a recommendation that you are qualified to teach on your own.
 
It is an Alberta Rule. the reason why is to be sure that the person who is teaching is in control of the line when the students are shooting.

so some one who hasn't taken the NROI course is incapable of having control of the line?

Probably comes down to liability. If there's an accident and the instructor is not certified as an RO there might be a problem regarding any insurance claims.....
