2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Step 1 - We first need to identify the dates that we need to avoid. I'm looking for things like holidays and big events that will pull #'s from our club (i.e. Crawl for a Cure). We should also note other major events that we need to work around. A good example would be knowing when Grandma's Marathon is and not scheduling anything in Duluth that weekend. I'll start us off and keep adding as I think of more. But if you know of something, please post and I'll keep the O.P. updated.

**Phase 2** (2/7/16)
Next, we need to decide what weekends to hold the 12 events on. We normally try to avoid back-to-back weekends, as well as going more than 3 weeks between events. We'll decide what events next, right now just what weekends. I laid out what I think will work in Blue. Let me know what you think.

**Phase 3** (2/13/16)
Next step is to layout what type of event and location. I've found that doing these at the same time usually works best to help see the big picture. Green

**Edited three locations for scaler GTG's. These are in Orange.***

I know Barry, Nick, Josh, and myself will be gone for Nenc, and Ecc and battlegrounds if they have it. Anyone that would like to go with us get a hold of me so we know who all is interested.

"GOD SPEED"

Thanks Kevin for getting this started, hopefully we will be able to make all the events. Depending on when and where I get a job when i graduate in May.(Look out, there is going to be another one of those Enginerds:flipoff:)

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

This was just a idea, feel free to comment your feelings "thumbsup"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Bearing in mind Josh's post, the schedule that Nerby posted works for me EXCEPT for the May 15th Byron and Oct. 2nd Finals. Both those we will be doing 1:1 events.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling Kevin!

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

I know Greg and Brawley are Spring Turkey hunters but Greg will have to confirm those dates.

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Thanks for your suggestion."thumbsup" Couple thoughts...

-If we push the first comp forward a week, we could also throw in a casual test n tune on the 10th.
-I wouldn't feel comfortable holding an event at Byron if Bill & Josh can't be there.
-The "BATTLE AT THE BORDER" (not border battle) would probably have a better turn out if it was before school started. I'm thinking July or Aug.
-I think the "HOWL KRAWL" (not crawl) should be the day before Halloween rather than a week before.


And yes, I am going to be a stickler about the names above. In bold and underlined are the names that we have been using for 10 years!!!:flipoff:

Check the first post for my phase 2 (blue)

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Thanks Josh. I'll add those dates to the O.P.

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Porn awards in Vegas were last month so should be good there.

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Can we move the event from June 12th to the 5th ECC is that weekend and I know 4 of us will be gone for it or make it one of the g6 events. Thanks

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Like Dana says, I'll take silence as acceptance."thumbsup"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Ok. I've added Phase 3 (event type and location). Again, this is all open to suggestions. Post up your thoughts."thumbsup"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Schedule looks good to me. "thumbsup"

"GOD SPEED"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Looks good to me.

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Wouldn't the July 31 event be on the 30th if it is to be the Battle at the Border?
Looks really good.

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Yeah, it would be best to have the Battle At The Border on a Saturday. I just have everything on Sundays for now while we hash out the particulars."thumbsup"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Suggested changes made in red.

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

Stillwater boomsite would be fun and different.

"GOD SPEED"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

I'm ok with those changes."thumbsup"

Re: 2016 MNRCRC Schedule Planning
 

I don't think the boomsite is a big enough area for a event, at least not a G6 or U4.
