George Rodgers Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I wonder what sass would be like if we did not have any categories for a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I like your idea as a first step. Hold a short nomination period for submission of category desires. Let everyone vote for their favourite one choice amongst all nominations. Pick a number, such as eight, to be the maximum number of categories allowed. Top vote getters become the new choices. If folks think it out, it could be done with eight categories and still cover all shooting styles and weapons/ammunition choices while cutting out a ton of fat.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 lonely Ding, Ding. The winner! No categories means, based on analysis of times at major matches like Bordertown, CAC, WR and EoT, that you would give awards and recognition only to the top 5 or 10 or 15% (you pick one) of the smokeless "Cowboy up to Senior" two-handed men shooters, and maybe an occasional gunfighter and lady. Kids, almost all women, duelists, older shooters, frontier cartridge, well-costumed, big-bore, and cap-n-ball invested shooters all are "permanent losers" under such a plan. Not much fun. We don't take much away from matches except some recognition. No Cadillac's, no pots of money, rarely even a gun. We have categories so that more folks with a variety of interests all can have fun together under the same big tent. I like it just the way it is. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastmaster Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 works for me. For everyone else, you can makeup your own personal virtual catagory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the score board and see where you placed against whomever you are chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, GJ Could hand out awards to 50% of the shooters (more or less what they give out at the biggy shoots now) and use a random number generator to figure out which shooters gets the "Prize". This would stop CP'ing.... LOL!! As it is now, about the same people in whichever catagory you want to look at, take home the prizes.... as should be since they have put the most 'time' and 'money' into the sport. Every once in a while, a blind squirrel finds an acorn, and that makes it interesting. The rest of us are brides maides. Just funnin' here and just saying...
