geordie1234 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Hi guys Looking to have your thoughts on the Lanarkshire Fed result layout I've been thinking for a while that the current non open race format isn't a true race result You could be 16th open 7000 pigeons but 16th section and never get on the result? Surely this disheartens members? Even 30th open 20th section against massive birdage is an achievement and maybe would help encourage more fanciers and help boost morale in the sport. Now I am 100% not saying do away with the sections because I think the sections add value and competition What I think could be fairer for all is say top 100 open but with the section embodied in the result just like an open result ie still 1st west sec 27th open etc we could even run it until atleast 15 section tickets were given as a minimum for instance one week 115th open 15th section if the race required it so no section was ever done out of fed tickets... This is only a suggestion it is in no way discrediting any past result I just feel an alternative may be better for all parties and bring us in line with most if not all organisations within the sport Some may say this is more work for our hard working sec Cammy but my understanding from previous conversations is that you just change the format on the results programme What's your thoughts guys?

mill house Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yea ken lanarkshire has a big radius and with the prevailing west wind certin areas would dominate the results and make them look good so widnes gea you a true reflectin on the race in a fed wae a tight radius it would be better jmt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissyboy1 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yes George i think this is the way forward.As a federation you have to evolve and if Jim is willing to put it on the federation website then people can have a look and enjoy.Well done George on your forward thinking.
