Clubs are removed from that process, quite simply as it is too clunky, limited catchement, and racers often feel put out when a club votes a different opinion too themselves.
Give the racers the option to make the decisions, and you'll get a fairer reflection of what people actually want. How many actually on a club committee at the moment actually, hand on heart, know what the guys running at their clubs would like to race?
I know you'll come back that clubs should hold votes on the topics at hand, but truthfully... I've not once yet been consulted by any club committee member on any Arrcmacc votes, and there's your flaw in the system right there. Personally, I would be all for a constitutional change on this matter.
More on that last point, the ONLY vote I have ever been a part of, was the removal of 17.5 booted, 2 years ago. You can't tell me that has been the Only RULE submission in the past 2-3 years in EP ONR??
Weather this direction is the right way or not, we can at least IMPROVE upon our current communication methods.
Surely no one will disagree that AARCMCC are still working with idea's and methods from the 80s and 90s.
And it's for this very reason series like ETS and EOS, are the "PREMIER" events and not any that is ifmar / aarcmcc related. It's only a matter of time before the same thing in Australia happens, with the following of the ETS rules.
KISS "Keep it simple stupid" is what we need to be doing to improve our sport.
