I was wondering what changes teams in Manitoba would like to see happen with the tour. Has anyone heard when our call or meeting will be taking place or has that been pushed back? I have had talks with several people and we bounced ideas around, some good, others not as good but its good to talk and throw ideas around.
The points system needs to be updated in my opinion. Get rid of the gold,silver,bronze events and just have everything done with CTRS points. The way I was looking at it was if team A qualifies in Portage(32 teams and strong field), and team B qualifies at the Thistle(20 teams with average field) why should they get 22 MCT points each. Those events should not be equal in my mind. That's why going to CTRS makes sense. The SFM is taken into account.
Have you talked to Resby about this? The system was implemented to balance the interests of all the events on the MCT and to ensure that it just doesn't become a qualifying system for the elite teams.
By having a more balanced points structure you will see more opportunities for the teams who regularly play the MCT to collect those spots. It's about ensuring teams play more MCT events.
If you went to the CTRS only, the spots would be earned by qualifying in Portage, at Morris and there wouldn't be much incentive for teams to put together a schedule that includes multiple Manitoba events.
