[NSRCA-discussion] Re: redistricting

[George Kennie]

It could be inferred that the District Champion aludes to a "person"
of exceptional championship calibre who resides within the District
confines irrespective of the location of competitive endeavor.To
achieve the title requires participation in competitive enterprize
that validates the award. Where the effort takes place should not be
in the equation to be truly justified.You are "Champion" by virtue
of your demonstrated skill level irrespective of where that
demonstration took place, not because it occurred on "Joe's
Ballfield".
We already allow one out of District event which at least partly
negates the "local geography" issue.
The improvement sought here is to make it easier for people in large
geographical Districts to "District Hop" to contests that are closer
to their place of residence than contests that would require them to
travel in excess of 12 hours to stay within District limits. That's
known as a hardship guys!

District Champion implies a local geography.


If you take a close look at the substantial differences in the
demographics of each District, you will see that the "best" point
system is not the same in each District.

Most, if not all, the current District Championship systems allow
for some amount of out of District Contests to count to make it
easier for the guys that live on the
edges of Districts.

As a matter of fact, the D1 Champ has been decided several times by
an out of District Contest - in some cases involving more travel
than would be possible within
District 1 alone.

As was asked before, what problem would this solve?  What
improvement would there be?
