2008 Budget Q & A:

Q. Will this be applied to our dues at the beginning of the season or is this a rebate that will be sent after the results have been received.

A. This is a credit that you will see on your yearly (starting in 2008) club dues invoice sent out on February 1^st.

Q.Why are the US Clubs not seeing a savings?

A. The US to Cdn dollar exchange rate has changed so all US fees have been increased to match the Canadian fees

Q. My Club is being penalized for not sending in results when our races do not fit the analysis criteria.

A. We accept all races submitted. If they are not Windward/leaward or Triangular courses, then that should be indicated and the Chief handicapper will decide if they will be included.

Q. We combine races with another club but are not getting the credit.

A. We have several clubs that have combined racing. You need to notify the administration office when you are submitting your races that these are combined races and which clubs are involved.

Q. My Club has results but I did not get them sent in in time.

A. We will accept submissions of results up to Feb 15^th. The credit will then be adjusted on your yearly dues amount. You will need to contact the administration office if you have this problem.

Q. This seems like a complicated way of handling the dues.

A. Yes and No. The Executive wanted to remove the Club Dues portion of the yearly dues so that the smaller clubs would get a break. Unfortunately, we have a significant group of clubs that use our information without applying for a certificate or submitting race results and we did not want to offer this savings to them. So the concept of a per certificate credit was created.
