Usrcca Club Requirements

[twistedone]

2009 WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.
Any news on a USRCCA club requirements?
Any updates to the USRCCA website in the works?
USRCCA is getting credit for alot and no new updates are being done is the going to be a real sanction body or not?

I think there is a great start going on but it needs to grow and make public knowledge of what is happening?

if we(clubs) need to join a site and pay to become clubs then base your regional and nationals on the clubs that are willing to make the commitment to rock crawling and its club members

started this thread cause was wondering is the USRCCA still going or is it just RCC

[Nabil]

USRCCA is the official rules comitee. i believe the 2009 rules are already almost done. they just havent been posted yet.



as far as joining as a recognized club, the guidelines were posted before. however, with the recent explosion of the hobby, i belive the USRCCA is revising the previous guidelines to accomodate the growth

[JPH Racing]

We are all eagerly awaiting the new rules and the Club requirements .... Those rule guys are hard at work, thanks for the effort guys!

Personally I think there should be two club listings.

One on USRCCA for official USRCCA Recognized clubs and one on RCC for simple RC Crawling and offroad clubs. Alot of members here are into Scale and other offroad stuff and not into comp crawling, so I think it would benefit them and RCC to keep it easy to get listed here.



and have patience, writing the rules is a PITA, we are working on some for Timed Eventsfor our local club and it has been anything but fun.

this is just one more place that club organizers have to remember to keep updating.

Yea but how hard would that be....LOL I completely understand, people would be and are starting clubs left and right, some making it, some not, it's hard to keep track of.

It was an idea and a good one I think, but I don't want to answer and review all the PM's for club membership......:-P

I agree and I wouldnt either

[ripper7777777]

You know I think every state should have as many clubs as is needed. Texas is freaking BIG and I tried meeting with the guys at TXRCCA but damn they are like 4 to 5 hours away, I have a family and gas prices got retarded high, that's just not possible. So I started a local club and now we have a lot of members locally who also were never interested in driving 4 to 5 hours to comps, but will drive an 1 or so, we currently have a location 2 hours away... so to all those that said I never leave my area code.


On to my point, I don't think every club should get two invites, that could end up with a retarded amount of people at Nats, and some just wouldn't be qualified, me included.

To me it should be the best of the state, 2 from each class, determined by the clubs in that state.

So your club would be recognized by the USRCCA and you would than send your top drivers to a state finals against the other top drivers and the winners would be the ones going to Nats. That way the best of the state goes not just the best of the people who live near the recognized clubs. Again I say this knowing that this type of elimination would quickly eliminate me from Nats, but that's what it's for.


I like the current rules to become recognized by RCC, there has to be something to prove you have the members and are willing to hold events at least once a month, otherwise every joe the plumber will have his own club and be the winner of his own comps.


Of course you all run things as you see fit, I only posted this because I'm getting bored waiting on the new rules......

we started a specific chapter for you in TXRCRCA letting you pig tail on our USRCCA regonition, you chose to ditch us, and take the members from that area with you. your always wanting everyone to play by YOUR rules and bend them to suit you.
we at TXRCRCA put the time and all the hard work in to meet the requirements to be recognize as an official santioning body for texas. either do the same or stop asking for special treatment. the last comp was a 4 hour drive for me. nobody complained.

on a side/related note, there was talk of a minimum (20 i think) number of members per club at every comp to be a legal recognized USRCCA club to prevent every guy and his buddy starting a club to get invites. what was the final ruling on this?

any new news on this matter at hand?

[jetboat]

I will be glad when they finally get the club rules finallized. It does seem that everyone that didnt agree with a rule or a class 1 club is running started their own club. When we started SCRC it was because there were no comps withing 3-4hrs... We now have 50 members, have held 2 point series and have convinced local shops to start building courses. I can only imagine how things will take off once we become recognized.
Since we started SCRC, I have watched 3 other attempts in the area start and fail... one by our own VP (club loyalty)

[JohnRobHolmes]

We are very close to finalizing. Most of the details have been hammered out now, just need to go back though and put the last nails in.

This really isn't the place to work this out, but feel free to contact me directly, personally I would love to see this resolved.

I will say this in defense of the Houston Club:

The Houston club formed so we could make our own scale comp rules, you all told us if it wasn't a USRCCA Comp we could not even call it a comp. You all tried to tell me what I could and couldn't host in my own backyard, and for the record I said fine, I just wouldn't host anymore scale comps and people like Charlie asked if I would help build a new club, I'm not in charge of the local club, I leave all the rules up to a members committee, all I do is pay for the site and maintain it, but the staff handles all the rules. If you actually knew me, you'd know that I have no desire to be in control, I'd prefer to just show up to events compete and go home.

With that said, I'm fine with whatever the USRCCA dictates and I was hoping that one day we would all compete in a Texas State Finals or just a fun gtg.

We are running the USRCCA rules, because we finally have enough members to do it, I was always interested in running the USRCCA events, but no one else at the time was and I wasn't going to force people to compete the way I wanted, now we have enough members interested, so we are now running both Scale and USRCCA events.


Like I said I was just posting stuff, I highly doubt that anything I posted at this late in the game would be taken seriously, I'm shocked it was even read, I was again posting out of boredom and just offereing suggestions to anyone reading, just offering discussion while we all wait.


So again I would love to see the two clubs work things out, and when we were running scale comps only I encouraged members to use your site and go to the comps you all host for USRCCA events. I'd be glad to come to your site and hash this out once and for all, or come to our site, or just handle it in emails, whatever, I'm good with anything. I know I can be an irritating **** at times, so I'd even be fine with you hashing things out with our staff and I'll go along with whatever you all work out.

Thanks for all the help and work you all are putting into this, I know personally that writing rules and guidelines is a pain, I still have to get ours Timed event rules transferred into a pdf format, so I have all new respect for ROAR and any other governing body.

If you don't mind can I pm you with a few clarification questions on the USRCCA rules, even if we don't qualify for USRCCA we are still going to run using the USRCCA rules and I'd like to be using them correctly.

Post your questions in this subforum, it is the purspose for it.

Alright, I figured as much, I'll gather them up from the staff, I was just hoping to not look like to big of a dumbass....LOL

We are working hard to figure it all out on our own.
