Team Challenge

[carlbren21]

alrite, well, I guess the ne will take schultz... he's north and a little east!

[Schoen-hopper]

This team challenge would be mostly for fun, which I believe it will be. We can use this year to determine how to make it bigger and better for next year. Let's see what happens.

Here is what I think we should do. Let's combine the NE and Emporia. This could make the 2 teams with the fewest players into the strongest team, but I believe it will still be close. Maybe we could split it next year if we get better membership numbers. This is already combined in what we call region 2.

The Western team happens to be exactly region 1 and 5 combined. The Salina team is region 3. The only difference is that Kindy would belong to Wichita as he is region 4. Region 4 is the only one split into 2 teams, Wichita & Winfield.

Also to make it fair, Ron & Brendan should go to Salina & Hays. These teams have few players and fewer pros and this would help. Determining which should go where? These teams are pretty evenly matched. Hays might have a slightly stronger team because of slighty higher numbers, but they have farther to drive, so there attendance could likely be a little less. We could decide it with a coin flip or something else equally random.

I'll try to post the final teams player list by Saturday morning.

19 tourneys down and at least 18 yet to go. Looks like lots of great events scheduled for the rest of the year.

Picked up 11 new members. 1 master for Winfield & Salina, 3 players for Region 1/5, and a few Wichitans.

Doo Dah will be the second Team Challenge event.
