For those of us who did not attend but have an interest, could a few of you who di attend give us some bullet points as to what took place?
Frank has psoted a few things relative to debates on this forum which I want to thank him for. But lacking the patience to go and read back thru the minutes, would love to hear what the high (low) points we're?

considering the complexities of registrations being handled on LMSC level.
I think each LMSC should have the option to contract with an online registration company. Our tri club has 73 members, receiving mail, opneing it, filling out forms, mailing membership cards would be a nightmare.
Karen the local LMSC must put in hours and hours doing this, my concern is mostly born out of seeing how much work she needs to do.
On the other hand, for the tri club I receive an email with excel file that has every members name, address, pertinent info, when they signed up, etc. On the appointed day every year I send that information to the usat registrar for their year end counts or whatever they do with it.
Oh, I also receive a check in the mail. It all works so simply you wouldn't believe it. Having come from the old paper registration system, it cuts the work down by about 80%, easily well worth the transaction fees charged by the registration companies.

Championship Committee has calculated the NQTs for Coral Springs. Here is an unofficial link for the times:

Note these times are a rolling three year average of the 10th place times from USMS Top Ten plus 10%. In some instances they are 15% slower than the 5th place time (in cases where there is no 10th place time).
We are comfortable with these times and believe even Mark Gill can make his cuts... :D
