SlowPoke Slim, SASS #61193 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm confused about the conventioneer signup at EOT. The ad in the chronicle states that conventioneers are not eligible for ANY side matches. But when you go to the registration section online, it states that conventioneers CAN sign up for side matches. It looks like on there, that the only side match I can't shoot is the Wild Bunch match? So which is it? I don't want to find out the hard way... Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Slim, SASS #61193 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 OK, I just got off the phone with SASS HQ, and conventioneers ARE eligible for all side matches EXCEPT the Wild Bunch Match. Straight from the horses mouth.... As opposed to, ahem, well, The Wire... Just so's everyone gets the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 This is welcome news and might increase attendance. I shot a side match at Winter Range as a conventioneer. My score was not published so I figured out how I did using my personal score card. (I did OK but a squib from a factory round pushed me down in the standings.) I wonder if EoT will follow WR practise and not publish conventioneer scores? This could be a good thing for those who try a side match for the first time and don't want to see their name published at the end of the standings.

SlowPoke Slim, SASS #61193 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ed, I know what you mean. I shot a few side matches at WR this year... I'd pay money to keep those scores QUIET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Gato Gordo - SASS #15162 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Have the Powers that Be improved "spectating" any? Calico Cass & I went as conventioneers two years ago, and couldn't get close enough to any berms to watch - which was the main reason we came! Conventioneers and spectators could not even walk the road by the berms at that time. A rope across each berm, close enough to SEE, but leaving enough room on the shooting side for competitors and carts, would do the trick. Going to EOT this year, but not as a conventioneer!

Buenas suerte, 1207105[/snapback] We were conventioneers last year and walked the road but I believe visitors are to stay behind the fence for safety - it is quite a distance to see well. Plus, it would make it too hard to have visitors in the mix with all the shooters and gun carts trying to move from one berm to the next - jmo.

Buenas suerte, 1207105[/snapback] Believe me, they are working on it. There is more to it than just spectator safety. I, for one, don't like the idea of epopel just walking around with guns, guncarts and ammo laying around where they can just pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
