Spoiler Alert: We will NOT count points earned by any Squad at any Event if that Squad’s profile is incomplete…meaning Racers have not been assigned to the Squad from the parent Team.
Because the latest incarnation of Checkpoint Tracker came online late last fall without a lot of time to promote it and explain how it works before the first 2010 event…mainly because we’re still building it…we’re in a bit of pickle.
Ideally, we would have required all Teams that all get their Racers signed up and added to their Team profile…then add Events to their Team Schedule…then assign Racers from their Team Roster to the Squad(s) they are sending to each Event…before allowing a Promoter to mark that Squad as Confirmed.
Completed Squad profiles…complete because Racers have been assigned…provide the hook we need to enforce team size limits by Division when we roll up points to generate Rankings.
Well we chose not to enforce that a Squad be complete before a Promoter could mark that Squad as Confirmed because if we hadn’t we’d have had very few Teams to track and then rank.
Ce la vis.
Our plan going forward is as follows:
- We will NOT require that a Squad be Complete to be Confirmed by the Event Promoter. This means the burden of completing the Squad profile, thereby ensuring that points earned by the Squad are counted towards the parent Team’s points total, falls to the Team.
- We’ve updated the Squad profile page to display Registration Status (Confirmed or Unconfirmed) and whether the Squad profile is Complete or not.
- We’ve updated the Rules and FAQ to reflect this new requirement.
- We’ll be contacting all Promoters and Racers via email to make sure everyone is aware of this new requirement.
