Questions to Zandy Meyer (SCMDPR)

[Thumper_]

Hi all,

 

I have been granted a interview with Zanday Meyer next Wednesday (day before basketing)

As I know many of you have questions regarding the race and the management I thought that I would give you all the oppertunity to let me know what you would like to ask him.

To keep it to a minimum I think each person who wished can post 3 questions they want answered.

 

Please do not only ask questions regarding the "alligations" , if you have pertenant questions regarding other aspects please do ask them. Read all the postings regarding the allegations and make sure you do not ask something that has allready been answered.

The interview is not a cross examination. But more a fact finding mission for those interested in sending birds.

 

Regards

Thumper

whats his best form of motivation

1. Why don't they just allow transferring birds between teams as World Ace Challenge does especially since there have been instances where it has occured and these have been detected by participants ( 2004 Bill Bonwell noticed one flyer had sent 20+ birds and these birds were consistently moved from team to team, as birds were lost, until the last minute  )

  2.  Why are they having so much trouble maintaining U.S. agents and who is going to be the U.S. agent this year

One question

 

Which ETS system do they use and have they purchased the software from Bricon/Unicon or written there own. This is an important question as i understand at least one of the one loft races over here have written there own software which gives them the ability amend the result. This subject was being discussed by two guys in Tiffinys Hotel on Saturday night and what the guy was saying was a bit scary.

THIS IS A PART OF YOUR FIRST POST , WHO IS GOING TO THINK ABOUT SENDING BIRDS WHEN THEY READ THE ARTICLES RED CHEQ HEN HAS HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE, I THINK ONCE YOU HAVE READ THEM THE LAST THING YOU WIL BE THINKING ABOUT IS SENDING BIRDS

[Guest]

Very interisting reading i enter in alot of one loft races and iam begining to think that all is not as it seams ive sent to sun/city las vagus and all three in this country and the only one iam sending to this year is the rpra if you look you see things that just are not right big money at stake when its a private concern the birds are the last thing they think of

[jimmy white]

BEST ONE LOFT RACE I SEE IS "CHATS" ONE LOFT RACE,,NO GREAT BIG MONEY TO ENTER, NO GREAT  BIG FORTUNES TO BE WON , BUT A DEDICATED LOFT MANAGER , WITH NEWS NEARLY EVERY DAY SOMETIMES , PICS OF THE BIRDS , PICS OF THE LIBS,, UPDATES ON THE FORUM , THATS FOR LOVE NOT FOR MONEY,, ALL THE BEST FOR THIS YEAR BILL :)      [ STILL A GOOD FEW DOLLARS TO WIN ]

[Guest TAMMY_1]

 

yes if you want to enter a race where your birds are the only thing that matters it is chatrace's, you wont win a fortune but you will have absolutely no worries about your birds as they will have the best care available, when too much money becomes involved that's when the problems come in along with it

[Guest slugmonkey]

I think the World Ace Challenge Race is trying to take the place of the Sun City Million Dollar race and I hope they do the sun city guys have had MANY allegations of wrong doing over the years and am glad to see that they finally got caught with their hand in the cookie jar I have flown both and can tell you I quit flying the sun city race several years ago but intend to fly WAC race again it was very well run ( as these big races go ) and the birds were extremly healthy and well trained.

I believe befor the LAST questions can be answered Thumper, the first questions need to be answered with a truefull, and believable repore.

Please go to http://www.scmdpr.com/ and read the report by the Governing Body of Pigeon Racing in SA (SANPO), the State Vet & the SPCA....

Air Sport International are taking the author of the articles, Steven van Breemen and Winning Magazine to court over the unfounded alligations.

 

It's about time!

[Ronnie]

All i can say is i had money put aside for a couple of one loft race's this year and have decided not to enter any.

What put me off was europa winner last year, a bird just happened not to be activated so a person who is involved with the race no matter how small suddenly decides to activate it and wins...Call me paranoid and now all this bother with scmdpr i think i will stick to racing against my club.

[swilcox]

With the money involved there should be proper controling bodies involved in auditing these events, the Dutch Open is monitored and audited by the NPO.

 

Money breeds greed and greed corupts minds!!!!

[Ronnie]

sorry to go off topic Thumper.

Totally agree with Swilcox
