| I received a call from a very nice lady
| |
| | tried having trophy classes for years. It
|
| after our last event. She was concerned
| |
| | just didn't work and was really unfair to
|
| and confused. She was concerned with the
| |
| | some. One time we would have dozens of
|
| number of trophies won by Clubs. She was
| |
| | cars in the Street Rod Class, then the
|
| also confused as to how club members
| |
| | next time only a few. This was true for
|
| seemed to win a majority of the trophies.
| |
| | almost every event where we had classes.
|
| I then explained Power Voting to her.
| |
| | One class would be overloaded and another
|
| Here's what I said.
| |
| | under represented. Then when we changed
|
| Power Voting is when all the group & club
| |
| | things, the problem still existed only in
|
| members vote for all the other club
| |
| | different classes. We felt like a dog
|
| members in the show. This almost
| |
| | chasing its tail trying to keep the
|
| guarantees the club will have lots of
| |
| | classes balanced. It just didn't work. So
|
| winners. The reason that this small group
| |
| | now we do a People's Choice Award system:
|
| of 10 to 30 club members can sway the
| |
| | if the people like your ride AND they
|
| results is the same reason we end up with
| |
| | vote for it, you win! The best ideas are
|
| lousy politicians Apathy!
| |
| | always the simplest: get the most votes,
|
| Not casting your vote puts the results in
| |
| | and you get Best of Show. This has
|
| the hands of a few rather than the many.
| |
| | resulted in the usual outcome, like the
|
| Power Voting would be ineffective at Car
| |
| | Low Rider Bike winning Best of Show in
|
| Shows if a majority of the attendees
| |
| | January. The people loved his bike, and
|
| would take the time to check out the cars
| |
| | he got the most votes so he Won! It's
|
| and vote for their favorites. If the
| |
| | that simple.
|
| General Public would just do that, then
| |
| | For our part, we will continue to ask
|
| Power Voting would be of little
| |
| | people to take a ballot and vote for
|
| consequence. But if the General Public
| |
| | their top 10 favorite vehicles. If they
|
| doesn't want to be bothered with casting
| |
| | don't, then groups & clubs will control
|
| their votes, then Power Voting can
| |
| | the outcome of the People's Choice Awards
|
| absolutely affect the outcome of the
| |
| | at any Car Show. Please do your part,
|
| trophies awarded.
| |
| | come out on Monday, Memorial Day, May 28
|
| I know some of you are thinking, "Why not
| |
| | to the next San Diego Car & Cycle Show &
|
