It is a bit difficult to rationalize joining an association which insists on adding more confusion to its already scoured past. I would like to comment on the resolutions which were put into effect that potentially have an effect on stunt kite folks. Number 1 To institute a national ranking system on a trial basis. This ranking system would potentially qualify additional teams and individuals for the AKA convention. Cuse me, could you be a bit more elaborate. What is "additional" mean? This is a real question. I mean when you say additional, do you mean that there were not enough entrants at Wildwood? Or do you mean that the teams which you thought would be there were not present. Hence, the best of the best was not present. I feel this needs to be explained further. Number 2 Darrin Skinner is working on a system similar to the tennis computer ranking system to rank flyers nationally. Contact Darrin for more information on this. Apparently, Darrin Skinner has already responded to this thread but said nothing about how. Yes we now know that the AKA is going to use a system similar to tennis, but could we be privy to the formula. Or is this something you intend to spring on everyone just prior to the next convention. What is this? - The results of the AKA Grand Nationals will be used to establish a season end national ranking for the AKA. If you win in Master's Individual Ballet at the Grand Nationals, then you can claim to be the best ballet flyer on the AKA "circuit". You mean if you had previously won then you can't say that? Please explain. You are not making any sence. "It is difficult to understand???" I think you are trying to simplify your explaination of a more complex system which is not needed. But then again who am I (your netnew rec.kites pain in the ASS). Please note that the first bit is a *trial* system. It might be used this year, and it might not. Here's a bit of political garbage. And yes it is garbage. Why, well, let's ask Dr. Stuipid. Just a minuite while I put on my Stuiponatron helment. ZAP!ZITTTT!BING!PURSERT!POW! Well, according to Richard Dermer we have all the results from last year, right. That, to me, correct me for being to simple minded here, is an accurate compliation of the results from the events from last year. (Or do we have problems with the outcome?) Why the hell put the AKA membership through the utter confusion of implementing another fiasco and find out it just doesn't work. Why do you idiots keep re-inventing the wheel? Why the hell don't you just say it? There are some of you we don't want competing at the Convention because you don't look good. And we don't want winners who aren't the people we though would be the winners, or Winers which ever you perfer. Now here's a quick turn. (You silver tounged devil.) >The second bit will go into effect for the 1995 AKA Convention. Ex-squeese me? What? Yea, and so why does two bits make a dollar if one bit is only 25 cents? Another bit of musing intellegence. >As for scoring at the World Cup, it is a short coming that is shared >at all kite events. Because of the way the score is currently >tabulated it is difficult to get a real-time feel for things. There is >a sizeable investment that needs to be made in electronic display >equipment before this starts to make sense. What the hell are you refering to?

It is nothing that some money can't >solve. Look at it this way, it is the difference between a >neighborhood soccer game with someone standing in front of the score >board changing the numbers by hand and the World Cup with electronic >scoring and instant replays. Oh now I get it your trying to talk about several ideas in one thread. Yea, now I'm with you. Hey, Marty, I think we're connected now. Cool!!! And if you use the money to invent the wireless system of less than $20,000 and you implement the system for the World Cup then you will have a better ranking system for the AKA which will provide you the opportunity to find the individual competitors who are the best of the best.
