[2007] Region W Atlantic (N. America)
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 6:14 am
For this year 2007, the ISSA is instituting an official sanctioning process for awarding contest status to the various events.
In N. America, the sanctioning process is being administered by a group of 3 people:
Chris Barker, top-ranked slalom racer, race promoter, and all-around great guy.
Eddy Martinez, captain of Lone-Star stoke, head of the Texas Outlaws, and grass-roots slalom promoter.
Pat Chewning, V.P. of the ISSA, developer of Chronocone timing system, CSA race organizer, and lower B-class racer.
Race promoters wishing to receive ISSA contest sanction for their event need to fill in a form and send it to one of the Contest Coordinators. The form can be obtained here:
http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/ISSA/ ... cation.doc
Additionally, we have decided that rather than have 3 separate and competing regions (Canada, E. USA, W. USA) we will combine all of these into one N. America region. This is being done for the following reasons:
A) It is easier to administer one larger region than 3 smaller ones.
B) We can more easily award contest sanctions to areas of rapid growth, or transfer sanctions from a cancelled event in one area to a willing organizer in another area.
C) It was anticipated that it might be difficult to fully staff "Contest Coordinators" in 3 regions rather than in a single region.
Also: The ISSA is about to close the decision on how many MAIN and PRIME events will be allowed in the N. America region. Most likely it will look something like this:
1 MAJOR event
5 MAIN events
10 (perhaps 12) PRIME events
UPDATE: The above list of # of events is what we have allocated to N. America
So this topic area will be the place to discuss which events might get which status, and it will supercede the other topic areas (Region: W USA, Region: E USA, Region: Canada). Those other topic areas will soon be deleted once I figure out how to do that (and preserve the content that is there already).
It is our hope that these changes help promote a higher quality contest (especially for the MAJOR MAIN and PRIME status), more contests, and a uniform method of documenting what was promissed to be delivered by the contest organizer.

-- A similar methodology will be rolled out in the Europe region once we have suitable Contest Coordinators for Europe.
