of this thread is to not lose some experienced and knowledgeable competitors who
don't feel as competitive for assorted reasons as they age. Apparently in the
past some have quit. No matter what changes are made if it stops being fun
people are going to look elsewhere to fill their competitive
spirit.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

color=#8000ff size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Eric<BR>First of all I am an Old
Geezer, I don't agree that there should be a separate event or scoring system
for us. Most Old Geezers would still like to see how they compare to the top
flyers.<BR>What is wrong with doing it like the Junior and Senior Awards are
done at the Nat's?<BR>If there are those who think there should be a handicap
system do it by age as you suggest by applying the handicap to the Old Geezer
scores after they are tabulated in the normal manner to determine the Old
Geezer winner. Who knows someday an Old Geezer may win the class event and the
Old Geezer award too like Juniors and Seniors have done in recent
years. seems like that would be much simpler My 2 cents worth
