Something for Blackpool 2011

[swilcox]

Why dont we do something positive for PigeonBasics, my idea is to have a Champion Old Bird Trophy, Champion Young Bird Trophy, Combined Champion and New Fanciers Trophy.

 

General Rules along the lines of each fancier can submit 5 old bird results and/or 5 young bird results (between 150 - 750 miles) with PB moderators deciding the winners based on the best coefficant, New Fancier Trophy for the best 4 results (old or young) for a fancier flying less than 3 years. All participants have to be members on the 1st of January of that competing year.

 

The four winners could be presented with there awards at Blackpool at the PB stand or at a Hotel of Choice.

 

Would give us all something to fly for.

could have a good escapee

[swilcox]

Lets not worry at this stage about the nitty gritty lets get the idea off the ground and the detials will be sorted along the way!!! We could be basically talking about an award for the best fancier in Britain.

[catchthepigeon]

Who will buy the trophy.

[swilcox]

We can raise that money throughout the year quite easily, maybe medals would be better???

Should create a great deal of interest and the coefficant would be the fairest way of doing things although would prefer to have 2 of the 5 old bird races from over 300 miles.

 

 

[pigeon]

i would like to enter this is thts ok people.

[marmite]

sounds a great idea id b game prob b last though

[marmite]

does this apply to nationals as well say bicc and nfc

[catchthepigeon]

All participants could chip in or add it on to the entry fee Trophys would be better but they would have to be handed back every year.Perhaps trophys and medals the trophy you hand back at the end of the year and you  keep the medals

[swilcox]

Yes that sounds a good idea Gareth, You could enter any race result, club, fed, National, Combine etc.

[Guest peter.j]

perhaps the trophies for the piccies only and then handed back to have name etc put on but a medal or small plaque to take away it saves any mishaps like have happened in the past re missing trophies

[demolition man]

wot about north road

[Guest strapper]

Could it not been done on the highest velocity

 

that would be unfair for welsh fanciers, as its well known that the velocities are greater in england than in wales.

Great idea stuart and hope it works for you   but look at the hurdles already all jumping on wanting it doing there way

How coefficients work.

A formula is used to give the birds a coefficient number, this is formulated by multiplying the position taken in the race by 1,000, this is then divided by the number of birds competing in the race.

 

Example; 3rd place in a race with 3978 birds competing is worked out as follows; 3 X 1,000 = 3,000 , divided by the birds in the race 3,978 = .754. This pigeon would have a coefficient of .754 for that one race. Each coefficient for each qualifying race is then added together to give an overall figure.

[Guest stb-]

Does that mean that you would have to fly in an organisation with large birdage to win it ???

 

as that would rule a lot out to start with.

[owen101]

would rule me out instantly as you more knowledgable and established fanciers

will whipe the floor with me lol
