A complaint or a suggestion (as long as reasonable) should bear grounds for the committee to look into it. Shows the committee will listen to its people.
Mark, all your posts are measured and offer a balanced view, credit to you.
A commitee should consider the suggestion(s) between them before offering it to its members. In this instance we have one suggestion (or one complaint) and the commitee see fit to create a voting system for it based on one persons comment/request.
If a number of people had suggested the change/complained then the committee has an obligation to put forward the suggestions/ complaint. But surely not for one complaint??
On the voting form, IIRC we had Yes change/No keep as is/other tick boxes.
What should have been made clear is what other options we had to choose from.
We should have first voted for 1) Is change to current system needed? YES/NO
If Yes, following consultation, the following options have been proposed.
Which option would you like to change to?
1) number of qualifying championship heats reduced best 40 > best from 32 for e.g.
2) alternate weeks for championship between classes
3) different points scoring per final positions/qualifying
4) any of the above, all seem good
Any other comments you would like the committee to consider?
The change was voted in wthout any options being offered to its members
A famous misquote: You can have any colour you want as long as it is black!
