[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hamlet volunteered because guess what - NO OTHER POOL STEPPED UP.

So if they had not had it - it would have been virtual again. The league is still volunteers and a lot of the senior leadership left and never trained replacements. Did not even occur to them.

I actually like your idea of an entrance fee - $50 a team with part of the money going for port a potties/bleachers/water stations, etc.  And part of it going to the host team to make money - because concession sales will be great, but added money is better.[/quote]

The league already pays for those.

T[b]he same entry fee whether you have 1 or 20 relay entries?[/b] [/quote]

Of course not.  You charge a fee per team.  Perhaps it is $20 per team in the event.  That would be 8K to the host pool. If you divide the event amongst pools you divide the amount.  This would be the rental fee.[/quote]

Ok. The PP wrote “50 a team”.

The NVSL already contributes $. I think it is in the $7.5k to 8k range. [/quote]

Honestly if All Star Relays is just a big D1 pissing match we should just make them pay. they certainly have the money. [/quote]

They do in a way.  [b]Each division sends volunteers in proportion to the number of teams they send[/b].  D1 has to provide a large staff for the meet.  It's only fair, but if there is monetary contribution, it should follow the same model.  D1 will pay more, other divisions less.[/quote]

Actually, they don’t. Division 1 was asked to send 6 volunteers (1 RTo/timer, 2 timers, 1 clerk of course, 2 turn end RTOs) and [b]they didn’t fill all of them[/b]. They are asked to provide 1/6 of what’s asked for but have about 30% of the entries. [/quote]

Are you serious??  How could they not fill all of them? They must have eventually filled them as it is a requirement. [/quote]

Of course it is not correct....  [/quote]

Other divisions stepped up and filled. Div 12 and 15 had RTOs cover for higher divisions and they didn’t even have to send anyone.[/quote]

There are six RTOs listed in the program. Two are from D1 (T and CB) and both were there and worked the meet.  Whichever positions were not filled were not ones D1 was supposed to cover.[/quote]
