Sportsman Points

Re: Sportsman Points

This has pointed me in so many directions that I'm worn out!
By the way, what's the primary requirement(s) for entering Sportsman???

Re: Sportsman Points

The Sportsman award was created for two purposes:

1) Encourage member participation in NCRS events.

2) Demonstate NCRS's commitment to recognize the member who actively attends and drives a Corvette to Chapter, Regional, and National meets.

Please see the attachment ripped directly from the pages of the JRM for the various requirements. Note the difference between the 36 month requirements for a plaque and the 12 month requirements for an add on and the continuing chapter membership during the entire process.

Re: Sportsman Points

I did Sportsman at the Florida regional and I don't see any points posted. I got my plaque last year but the Florida points in 2009 should show

Re: Sportsman Points

On top of this the Sportsman award is presented at a Chapter level as described in Section 10 if the JRM. NCRS Sportsman ribbons may be presented at Chapter, Regional and National events. The plaque, once earned, is provided to the Chapter president for presentation at the Chapter level. Upon completion of the additional requirements, Sportsman award recipients are eligible for representation at National Conventions.

JRM section 5.16 (sixth edition)

Lyle,

I'm not sure about the time window being convention till convention. I think the time window simply is 12 months (including a National).

Re: Sportsman Points

I received my Plague in 2004.
Sportsman rules state:
After a plague is collected only 10 points are required per "single" year.
What defines a single year?
Jan. - Dec. or from "first" event until 10 points are accumulated in less then 12 months.
I accumulated 12 points from Sept. 2006 to July 2007, 1- regional,
2- chapter and 1- national.
And didn't received an award, that is why I don't Sportsman anymore!

I would expect you would have received an add-on plate...

regards,
rob.

Re: Sportsman Points

I have ZERO interest in a trophy, I have ZERO interest in a plaque. I am not a trophy or recognition seeking person, but I do enjoy association with (friendly) people who share the same interests. And, at times in the past, I've had interest in attending some NCRS meets. But, because of past NCRS views toward cars/owners that are not Flight qualified, and the resultant attitude of rejection toward those cars/owners, many people have not had any desire to attend NCRS events----------------me included. Although, I must say, the Okla Chapter members have been a GREAT bunch of people (NON-typical of the overall NCRS organization). Other than the Okla chapter meets, my past NCRS experiences have been considerably less than enjoyable.
Consequently, the Sportsman class MAY be something that I would consider. That's why I inquired.

I'm reading between the lines for people who have the Sportsman plaque. The only place you can get an add on is at the national with ten points total including that national. Any points outside this window are over one year old at the National convention.
One person stated his Florida Regional meet from 2009 points are not their and he has the plaque. If they were their they would be over the one year window at the 2010 national and not be counted.
As long as the National Conventions are about the same time this idea would be correct I think. We know the date of the National years ahead so the information in your profile only needs to contain points that will count at next convention if a person has the plaque.
My points are this way now.

The the primary requirement for sportsman is $35.00 which buys me a place to park, and now after entering my 55 for judging in 05 which was nice to do honoring 1955 Corvettes , I'm now for ever a sportsman's guy.

Re: Sportsman Points

I believe that it is incombent on the member to notify his/her judging chair when nearing or reaching 20 points. I remind members of my chapter to tell me, and then I notify Roy Sinor. The national office orders the plaque but the chapter must pay for it. It is then presented at a chapter meet. The add-on plate can only be earned at the national convention.

Re: Sportsman Points

Maybe I am being too impatient -- but I don't see any Sportsman points for me.

Re: Sportsman Points



Three year time frame for accumulation is exactly that three years for 20 points nothing to do with convention and it is a rolling three years so in November of 2009 your October 2006 points drop out.

[Rob M.]

Re: Sportsman Points

After you have the plaque I think the points start after the convention. At the next convention you need at least 5 points plus the 5 points at the national to get an add on.

Lyle you were absolutely correct with your statement. I've checked with Roy and this is how the mechanism works!!!

You've just won a Heineken:
