If the BAR is changed then it should be called the Williamette Cup. Why

would anyone put on a race out side of Portland/Eugene and be part of

OBRA? Smaller races will suffer and OBRA will become what we left, the

USCF.

Points for the BAR will be weighted based on attendance. i.e. Races

with

10 or less riders will get .5 of full points. Races with 11-20 will

receive

.75 of full points. Races 100+ will receive 1.50%.







Since the BAR is a participatory award, shouldn't these incentives be

reversed? i.e. Wouldn't we want to reward people for going to the

smaller

races rather than the races that are full anyway? I have no problem

with

people getting easy BAR points at the smaller races, for perhaps that

extra

incentive helps those races survive.







The proposed bonuses seem more appropriate for something like the Oregon

Cup.







Just a thought,
