Statistician’s Notes

(Pulls 05 thru 11)
17 October, 2002

NOTE

Two changes to points this season:

  1. Dogs that do not pull do not contribute points; and
  2. Dogs that change ownership retain their points with the old owner (and qualify for medals and championship invitation) and start with zero points with the new owner.

Requested Changes

Sparky owned by Steve Jackson in region 5 last season.  Changed ownership to Wendy Leister this season per the note on the finish report, and confirmation from Debi Pruznick.

E R R O R S

Pull 9, Sacramento CA

100#, Tianna listed with a time of 102.91.  Assuming 62.91.  Pulling for 42 seconds over the time limit does not seem possible.

125#.  Both dogs listed as pulling 21.50 pounds.  Assuming 2150 pounds.

Confirmed.

MEMBERSHIP ISSUES

Instead of just assuming memberships, I am carrying this as a reminder that we have some issues to resolve.  If you are on this as a “membership not assumed”, besides not acquiring pull points, you are probably not getting the newsletter either

New Issues

Memberships Not Assumed

The following were marked as members on the organizer's report.  Membership has no record and the individuals are assumed Provisional until confirmation. Their pulls will become valid if membership records their join date as on or before the pulls in question.

·        Dwayne Phipps – Shown as a member at Leesport, PA on 15 Sep., but does not show in the database as of 15 Oct.  Assuming provisional at this time.

·        Bernie Castonquay – Shown as joining at the Rideau Lakes pull on 21 Sep.  However, Membership shows him as joining the 27th and there was a problem with the check being issued in Canadian funds.  Currently treating as provisional; but I have no doubt it will be cleared.

Resolved

Unassumed that were Confirmed as Members

·        Phillip Powell was listed as possibly a member at the Boontown Season Opener September 1st.  His membership has been recorded as the 1st.
