While the wind is blowin' and the weather is cold is a good time for planning this year's shooting season.  Sure, I hope everyone will mark August 3rd, 4th & 5th for the Badger Mountain Range War.  But I would also like to urge every one of the Colorado Cowboys, regardless of your level of experience, to attend the Colorado State Championship hosted this year by our neighbors the Sand Creek Raiders, June 7th through 10th, aka The Rocky Mountain Regional Raid.  Heck, the range at Byers is only about 2 hours from the Colorado Springs area, so you get a major match without having to drive out of state!  For more info, click the "read more" button.

The TG Summit concluded without any killings or blood feuds after two days of debate on the 5 agenda items and the RO Committee Report.  Here are the minutes of the meeting, with the voting results:

SASS Territorial Governor Summit Meeting Minutes
Thursday December 1, 2011
10:00 AM open TG Summit and Welcome
Pledge by Hipshpot
There are 284 clubs that were represented.
Hipshot announced that several raffles that were going on at the convention.
Outlaw Trail Sept. 26 to 30 2012, (at Founders Ranch) will also be a Governors Cup.Match. There will be a category for Governors. The match will include a ½ day TG Meeting for 2012.

Reminder that there is a State Match directors meeting 2:30 on Friday and a Regional matxh directors meetin at 2:30 on Thursday.

Preface before we begin;
There has been a strong movement to revamp the category system. When we get to item 5 we will spend some time clarifying the proposed system of categories.
Starting 2013, state level and regional matches will have the option of using a minimum of 5 entries per category. They have the option to drop a category if there are less than 5 entries in a category.
Winter Range and EOT will have the option of 10 minimum entries before the category is available.
Reading of the agenda items.

1) Should the scoring program be changed so that any shooter that does not finish TWO or more stages in a match is not eligible for any main match awards?
Voting YES would apply the same criteria currently in place for multiple SDQ’s & SOG’s to DNF’s (Did Not Finish) i.e. 2X = Match Disqualification.
A NO vote would allow a shooter who DNF’s multiple stages to place ahead of competitors who actually completed all main match stages.

Discussion item 1;
Views were expressed in favor of leaving this alone. As absolute rule it was not fare to eliminate someone that has an emergency. Legitimate reasons should not prevent anyone from getting an award.
It was asked if the RO committee had a position on the rule. RO committee supported the rule.
Some felt that if a shooter did not finish they did not complete what was required of the match.
It was questioned wether the scoring program had the ability to remove a shooter while their scores were still in the match.  A compelling argument was made that any shooter not shooting all the stages of a match avoids the possibility of dropping a loaded gun or a round over a berm, earning a Match DQ.
Comment that total time matches would not have a problem. We did not got there on that one.

Lots of discussion on both sides.  Click "READ MORE" to see how the voting came out, and to see the RO Committee report:
