Subject: RE: Buffalo Springs Lake IronmanDoes anybody know/understand the "slot awards"?
Is this a lottery or based on finish? I saw a couple of posts on the BSLT messageboard, but I can't seem to find anything explaing what it all means. From the posts, it looks like you have to attend the dinner to get the slot award. I wasn't planning to attend, but maybe it would be a good idea?! Any thoughts?
From the Post:
"Finally, we have determined how the 5 slots per race (Canada, Wisconsin, Florida ) will be awarded. When you go to packet pickup you will declare which race you would like to compete in. Then the names will drawn, at random, at the awards ceremony after slots for Kona, Clearwater are awarded. You must be present to win. This same system was used at Eagleman last weekend and worked well. The only exception to the way they did it and the way we are doing it is they drew the names before the awards ceremony actually began. They have their awards at the race site and it actually started before all finishers were done. With our awards ceremony done well after the last finisher, all declared names for an IMNA slot will have the opportunity to be present at the awards. Sorry for delay on this but we have been laboring over this for sometime and never could seem to get a fair way to do it. With only 5 slots we are limited on how it can be done. But the above method seems to be the most fair. Thanks for your interest in Buffalo Springs 70.3, Mike Greer"
