Rates vary and are a little higher.

Sorry for not finding a better group rate. It wasn't for a lack of trying (I've probably made 100 calls in the last few days trying to find a good hotel and rate)...every place in the area wanted a guarantee that would fall back on me if the number of rooms wasn't met. :roll:

2.2S
1.9
Super
Novice / Sportsman

Any and all competitors are invited. Those competing for a 2013 USRCCA Nationals invitation MUST have qualified through their local clubs. 5 qualifiers from each club in each class will be competing for the 4 invitations given to the state of Texas.



**Club leaders, when your season is finished, please post your season scores for each class so we know who will be competing for the invitations. Also, your club will be responsible for building, judging and providing all materials (except scoresheeets) for TWO (2) courses for each class.



TSF will be held in accordance with the TXRCRCA rules listed here:
Texas State finals.

TSF will be held each year in the month of June to determine the states 4 representatives for National invites and will be submitted to the USRCCA by the deadline of July 1st.

TSF will consist of a single Competition run under the USRCCA rulebook with an equal number of courses built and run by each recognized club. The top 4 eligible participants will then earn one of the 4 available invites allotted to the state of Texas. Should one of the 4 invitees be unable to represent the state of Texas at Nationals the invite will fall to the next eligible participant within the top 10.

USRCCA recognized clubs, that have run a minimum of 4 competitions for each class they want to qualify for Nationals between Jan 1st- July 1st or prior to its State/Region Crawl Off, will each send their top 5 representatives per class based on their own method of selection. These 5 representatives from each recognized club will be the eligible participants to compete for the states national invites.

NO duplicate of representation in TSF is allowed, competitors may only represent one club or chapter and may not have “dual” entries as so far as TSF is concerned.

Since the Texas State Finals is a consolidation of multiple club, chapter and regional divisions within USRCCA each with autonomous authority to selection of representation, each individual competing in multiple club events/series must designate which path to TSF they are attempting to qualify thru prior to completion of 3 events in any one series or participation in any single club event used to determine eligible TSF participants .

No participant may be discriminated against based on age, sex, or geographic location.

No participant who has otherwise met the pre-determined qualifications for representation in any recognized club may be denied participation.

Except as listed above in TSF eligibility requirements, Recognized clubs are otherwise free to determine the method of determining their top 5 representatives in TSF by any means they see fit .

All other decisions regarding TSF will be made by a majority vote of the TXRCRCA governing body prior to the event each year.

Here are some pictures of the area.

There is a paved road that runs through the park:


and a BIG parking lot down by the comp area (this picture shows about 1/4 of the available lot):


At the end of the parking lot is a wide trail that leads to the comp area. It is about 1/4 mile long and at the end are about 40 natural stairs leading down to the comp area. It is advisable that you bring a wagon of some sorts to carry your stuff. Wagons can be pulled along the side of the stairs (there is no rail) to get down to the area.


And now some pics of the comp area:

Just made reservations at the park, said they have 22 spots left for those dates but only one left for electric and water. I guess the others are tent sites.
 
I added a small part to the first post about the clubs attending this year. I believe it will only be NTX and GCRCRC that will be competing for Nats Invites, so each of those two clubs will be responsible for building, judging and providing all materials (gates, boundaries, clipboards, pens, timers, etc) except scoresheets for these courses. The courses should be setup and ran just like each club would do so in their own club. For example, if your group typically runs 8 gates and 4 minutes, then setup your courses that way. If you normally have bonuses, then feel free to set them up on your course. If you do not allow off course repair, then do the same. Just please inform the drivers of these rules prior to the courses being run.
