I guess what I shouid have said was "communication and caring."
Without both, either one alone can be pretty useless. Bill Glaze<br>

Part of the problem is that the coordinators don't live in the states
where the contests are held. A number of years back when I was a CD, I
sanctioned a contest in Nebraska. The coordinator at the time for my
district lived in Colorado. I was surprised that just at the time my
contest was sanctioned that another was sanctioned close by in Missouri
that was in another district. I phoned my district coordinator and she
said that she had informed the coordinator for Missouri (who
incidentally lived in Illinois) of my contest. I then phoned the
gentlemen in Illinois. His excuse was that he didn't know Nebraska and
Missouri were adjacent states and made no effort to see if there would
be a conflict!<br>

It doesn't need to be a problem; the secret is communication. But,
there is little anybody can do if the sanction is applied for by the CD
and nobody else is aware of it. Which usually becomes the case, and
the conflicts are known only after the fact. And, while it is easily
possible for the District VP to handle his own district, it gets
stickier when there are 2 or even 3 districts involved. Perhaps this
position of Competitions Manager could help, if it's implemented. As
John says, probably no harm done in this case; I don't see much
intermingling of our 2 Districts going on. But, still and all, it
would be much better to try to synchronize these contests. Perhaps
doing so would encourage more inter-district visits. It would be
advantageous.<br>
