ANYBODY FOR A REGIONAL
ICE HOCKEY TOURNAMENT?
Time to break
out the ice skates, hockey sticks and pucks. Roger Boskus is
planning on a Regional Ice Hockey tournament at his site - Cedar
Creek
As
you can see from the photo the ice is ready!!
I think that this view is from the boat ramp toward the slalom lake.
Good grief, things do cool down up there in Arkansas.
We were skiing and swimming in that water 5 months ago.
I think that is Roger taking the picture
check the shadow in the
foreground.

OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED FOR THE 2010 SCR
REGIONAL AND
AWSA NATIONAL TOURNAMENTS
By Bob Mayhew, EVP
18 December, 2009 |
| Here are the
results of the voting and subsequent arrangement of officials for the
2010 SCR Regional and AWSA National tournaments. The officials are
listed alphabetically within their assignments. |
Regionals:
JUDGES:
The Chief Judge is Terry Dlugosh; ACJ's are Jeran Hooten and Steve Tyler.
Appointed Judges are Allen Caldwell, Dave Island, Julie Krueger, and
Jerry Woodard, Margaret Ann Woodard. Kelly Dlugosh is the Assignments Judge.
SCORERS:
Gordon Hall is the Chief Scorer with Janet Hooten as the ACS. Appointed
scorers are Denise Caldwell, Lisa Derasaugh, Robert Howerton, and Wendy
Norwood.
DRIVERS:
Ron Ives is the Chief Driver with Jerry Bautsch as the
ACD. Appointed Drivers are T. Caldwell, Jerry Downs, Mike Hamilton, and
David West.
There are no Alternate Drivers because there were only enough
nominations to fill the appointed slots.
Greg Norwood and Jim 2 Thompson are the Technical Controllers; the
Safety Chief will be determined shortly. |
Nationals:
This is a unique year. Since it will be a 2-lake site the need for the
same number of officials as a 3 or 4 lake site is less. Each Region,
therefore, is appointing 3 Judges, 1 Scorer and 1 Driver plus an
Alternate Driver. But, because the Nationals will span 7 days officials
will serve either a 4 day tour (Sunday through Wednesday) or 3 days
(Thursday through Saturday) – the latter tour may be longer if it rains.
So, 6 Judges, 2 Scorers and 2 Drivers plus an Alternate have been
selected from the SCR.
JUDGES:
Allen Caldwell, T. Caldwell, Kelly Dlugosh, Terry Dlugosh, Bob Mayhew
and Margaret Ann Woodard. (The final pairings will be determined later
and will be based on skiing times and/or other factors.)
SCORERS:
Denise Caldwell and Lisa Derasaugh.
DRIVERS:
Jerry Bautsch and Mike Hamilton with Ron Ives as the Alternate.
(The same here for the Scorers and Drivers; who serves which tour will
be determined by the selectees.)
These individuals have all volunteered their time for these tournaments
and we all owe them a debt of gratitude for their unselfish efforts.

IMPORTANT RULES NOTIFICATION
By: Scott Snape, Chairman of the AWSA Rules
Committee
22
September, 2009 |
Some
tournament sponsors have allowed skiers to ski more than one
classification of tournament at a time which is in violation of AWSA
Rule 1.02. This rule states: "...A skier may not ski in more than
one class in the same event in the same round at one tournament and
may not ski more than three rounds in an event at a tournament..."
Examples include but are not limited to: skiing a round in slalom,
Class C, until the skier misses and then letting them continue that
round under class F. Skiing a round in class C and then, if the
skier does not like their score, switching the classification for
that round to class F.
It
is the intention that a skier declares which class he is skiing for
that round before he takes to the water. Changes after the fact will
not be allowed.

MOVING ON
UP
By Bob Mayhew, EVP
7 September, 2009 |
Elgin Faulkner is now in the Men 10 group. Carl
Peterson, in the
picture on the left and Elgin’s primary practice partner, is
congratulating Elgin on his chronological promotion and wishing him
well. Elgin’s medal and trophy are from his placements in the Men 9
competition at the recent National Tournament in West Palm Beach,
Florida.
You
might think that being an Open rated skier was the big time but not so:
the Men and Women 10 groups are for the hardy only. These are not the
whiners; they treat their injuries and sore muscles quietly, take the
necessary time to recover and then come back to their practice sets and
tournaments. They DO NOT lose their competitiveness; that is a
significant factor in their desire to keep skiing. |
 |
|
From a diet and exercise
perspective Elgin will say: “I don’t have any time to gain
weight; there is no time to eat. I am either skiing or judging.” It does
keep him busy. And, indeed, Elgin has been quite busy. At the
Bullneck Record tournament in Arkansas this past month he set a new
pending national record in Men 10 jump and new SCR Regional records in
all three events plus overall. For all of the men these will become our
new benchmarks.
There is no other way to put it: Elgin is quite an inspiration for all
of us.
