Guest 70 Electra Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I think this has been discussed before, but tell me again why the latest BCA judging manual can't be posted on the BCA website? (like AACA does) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Greg, Probably the best thing to do is call the office directly and pose your question - I don't believe it is their decision to make, but they probably can get the ball in motion to accomplish that. I would think that the board would need to make that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Contact the author of the manual, Rick Schick. I'm sure he could offer an explanation.He is the National Chief Judge.His e mail address is : buickman@wideopenwest.comScott MichBCA # 6619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I talked with the office on the issue, Rick does need to get the ball moving on it, working on getting a "workable" copy of it first. Once Rick moves on it, then it will have to go to the board their OK. I think all this can be done in a reasonable time frame as long as the "contracted" typest or whatever you want to call her get's a workable disk in their hands.

From past experience, I know he gets many inquiries and is not always able to respond promptly. I agree with John Chapman, as it seems existing document can simply be PDF'd (like AACA manual). Should be NO extra work other than intial scan and upload....a small investment compared to the benefit to members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFella Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's probably already in electronic form and someone just needs to get a copy of that and have it converted to a PDF file. I have two programs to convert documents into PDF format...it's very very easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 70 Electra Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I tried Rick Schick again, but got a message that his email box exceeded its quota. Is the above listed email still valid for Rick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFella Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hey Greg,I talked to my board rep (Dick Sweeney) and he brought this up before the board at their meeting today. He reported that the BCA office already has the judging manual in Adobe PDF format (suitable for online publication) and that the board decided to contact Rick about posting this online as Rick was not at the meeting. I think you should send a note to the BCA president about the BCA being a little more responsive to requests regarding the "on-line" community. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 70 Electra Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Great idea, John! I have sent the prez an email, and would encourage anyone else that is interested in an online Judging Manual to do the same thing.If it exists in PDF format already, it would be a no-brainer to post it to the BCA website.

Mr Riviera Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I would like to report to you all that I put the EJM ,Electronic Judging Manual, on the Board Meeting Agenda in response to YOUR call to have this added to the web site. In general everyone thought it was a good idea but I think some wanted to extend the courtesy to Rick to allow his input. I see NO reason why this cant be added to the website. I did try to contact Rick a week or so prior to the Meeting on this matter but was unable to do so as well. We are a little concerned about his well being and following up in that regard. He was not required to attend this meeting and may just be on vacation somewhere. I understand he Will be at the Feb. meeting in Florida and the matter will be brought up again. I can assure you that letters/emails /telephone calls are taken serious by the Board Members so let them know how you feel about this matter and anything else that you may be concerned about . This is YOUR CLUB - let your thoughts be known. Dick Sweeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Dick, if Rick cannot be contacted then the board needs to act on this issue now not in 4 months. While it would be nice to have his input, this really isn't an issue that concerns judging really, but simply making the judges rules more available.

Mr Riviera Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi Keith, You are preaching to the choir (of one) - Let the other Board Members know what you think and keep up the good work! Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest my3buicks Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 It is my understanding that Chief Judge Rick Schick is back online. I have sent an email asking Rick to contact the board with his input on this topic ASAPso the board can handle this rather simple issue prior to the next board meeting in February. Hopefully this issue can be resolved sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 70 Electra Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I was just looking through the meeting minutes of the July 7 2005 BCA Board Meeting, as posted on the BCA website. It appears clear that Rick has already provided his support(see direct quote below). Based on this information, why would we delay any further, or pester Rick again about the issue??"CHIEF JUDGE REPORT. Rick Schick stated that there will be no mass mailing of the new judging manual, due to costs, but all judging volunteers at this meet will be given a copy; others will pay $7. <span style="font-weight: bold"> [color:\\"red\\"] He suggested that the manual be placed on the BCA website using PDF format. All agreed that this should be done .</span> "BTW, repeated emails to BCA Pres. Paul Meyer have been returned with error message. Anyone else able to (recently) send emails to Paul?

Mr Riviera Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I brought this issue back to the Board at 0841 yesterday ( 11-11 ) with the reminder listed above (Ricks opinion). Our President, Paul Meyer,is out of town for the weekend and perhaps whan he returns I will get a response. I would say let this rest and I will be back to you all once it is settled. Thanks for your patience. Dick Sweeney BOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 This is a pretty easy task, if the judging manual is already available in PDF format, all that has to happen is for Rick to email it to me, and within minutes, less than hours of recieving it, it could be on the web site!

42crazy Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 It has just been approved, the Judging Manual will be put on the web-site. I think it is in Roberta's hands now, so, it will be done, have confidence. Paul Meyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
