CLUBS WITH UPCOMING EVENTS PLEASE READ....

The schedule shows you have an event coming up we wish you luck and safety. The CMSA office would like to update you on a few items.

Please Send Your Results MONDAY!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Updated Scoring Spreadsheet -
AVAILABLE NOW! Click Here to download.
(3.26 mb file - May take a few minutes to download.)

DO NOT USE any spreadsheet previously provided. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE ONE ON THE CLUB CD!!!!!! I apologize for the hassle, but please load this one and delete all others.

Here are some tips to make it easier for you and the CMSA office.

  1. Please rename the file for each day’s event as follows – this is a HUGE help! Club code+date+# of points – so an Arizona CMSA event would be AZ2022809x2 (for double points – x1 for single) –now when you save it, you know exactly when that event took place and we do too. Sending a file that says ‘Frozen Toes Saturday’ creates more work researching who, what where. And on your end, 3-5 years from today you won’t know which shoot happened when either if you use a name.

  2. Verify name and number on cards! INSIST that members show their cards at check-in! It is a rule! And will avoid most name & number errors!

  3. PLEASE SEND YOUR MATCH RESULTS ON MONDAY! The new points page and website are being built to operate in real time. When your events results are uploaded they go immediately to the website – no delay. It also allows us to get new cards in the mail Tuesday instead of Wednesday or Thursday.

  4. If you sign new members up at the event who compete- please list them on the spreadsheet as a T-1, T-2, T-3 etc. depending up on how many you have. If they ran as T-1 on the first day of a two day shoot, please make them T-1 on the second day.

  5. All T – emporary’s get designated by class 1, L1, S1, SL1 or Wrangler. If you allow NCC's at your event please put NCC in the place for CMSA # AND CLASS. Except for Wranglers - if you all NCC Wranglers put WR in Class.

  6. Also with Temporary members please send with the emailed results the all T-members contact info – We need this to accurately process all new members and get their cards to them faster. If we get this info on Monday with your results in most cases they will have their card mailed no later than Wednesday!

Registration/Registration Form  
You must arrange to have individuals take registration forms.  Some of this may be done in advance via mail-in registrations.  On the evening before and the day of the event you must assign someone to be responsible for the registration.  This will require an organized individual(s) used to handling money.  Some cash should be kept on hand to make change.  Each contestants CMSA cardholder’s competition card MUST be checked to confirm their Class and CMSA number as they register.  In the event that someone says they have changed levels and not received their new card, you should have a copy of the recent standings on hand available by printing them off of the CMSA website.  CMSA updates standings every Thursday and all changes would be reflected in the point’s section.  This information should be turned over to the timekeeper/computer person to enter into the CMSA electronic form.  

 The entry form needs some basic information from the riders. CMSA number and Class the participant is riding at are mandatory. Bio information for the announcer is helpful.  And a liability release form that the rider must sign before competing. An example of a generic entry form is on the next page.

Your registration, timing and scoring people must read & understand the following 5 rules. 

1.    REGISTRATION

A. Anyone can enter a sanctioned event, however, only CMSA Competition Cardholders shall receive World Qualifying Points (WPQ).  In order for CMSA to track move ups, all competitors shall be assigned a number or letter designation.  To be included on the CMSA Score sheet, a contestant shall be one of the following: 

1.  A current CMSA Cardholder (Adult or Wrangler)

2.  A Temporary Cardholder (Adult or Wrangler), who is issued a letter designation such as T1, T2, T3

3.  An NCC (Non competition Cardholder) who is designated CMSA number “NCC”.

4.  An individual will only be considered a contestant in a match if he or she pays an entry fee and engages at least one stage of the match.

B. You must use the CMSA Official Score sheet included on your Club CD for any CMSA sanctioned event.  No other score sheet will be accepted.  No handwritten sheets will be accepted.

C. All cells in the CMSA Number column & the Class column MUST be filled in with the correct information.

D. Time Only’s are not allowed on CMSA Score sheets.

E.  CMSA cards shall be checked at registration to insure correct CMSA numbers, Class specification and that their Card is current for this year.  Each competitor shall compete at the class & level listed on his or her Competition Card

F.  To verify interim move-ups, print out the Certified Points page from the web site the day of the event.  This page will also tell you how many qualifying wins each rider currently has towards his or her next move-up.  In the event of a back-to-back WPQ, after the first day, you can move a competitor up for the next day of competition.

G. Move-ups are not official until certified by the CMSA office.

H. Results will be double checked (certified) by the CMSA office.  

I.   If a rider claims that his or her Class or Wins are incorrect have them contact the CMSA.

2.    NON-COMPETITION CARDHOLDERS (ADULT AND WRANGLER)

A. An NCC (Non Competition Cardholders) would include someone who has not joined yet or a CMSA cardholder whose card is not current, i.e. his/her membership is expired.  

B. Give all Adult NCC’s a CMSA number of NCC and a Class specification of NCC.

C. Give all Wrangler NCC’s a CMSA number of NCC and a Class specification of WR.   

D. Do NOT list NCC’s on any Awards Form, as they are not eligible for awards or move-ups. 

3.    NEW CONTESTANTS JOINING AT A CMSA MATCH (ADULT AND WRANGLER)

A. Issue a Temporary number (T1, T2, T3) to each new competitor,

B. Have them fill out a CMSA Cardholder application.

C. Send his or her Cardholder fees with your results. 

D. Adult Temporary Cardholders shall ride in Level 1 of their respective Class, except Wranglers who are designated WR in the Class field.

4.    POINTS

A. A CMSA Competition Cardholder shall receive one point for each contestant he or she places above in the overall standing, including NCC.  Although non-competition cardholders count for a point, they are not counted for move-ups.   If a Class 3 rider beats 3 other Class 3 riders, but one of their cards has expired, there is NO move-up.

B. Wranglers are tracked in a separate World Points Series.   

C. A CMSA Cardholder will also receive one point for entering the match.   

D. If a person joins at a particular match, their points will count at that match and thereafter.  Points shall not be awarded retroactively.  

E.  Points will not be awarded until all event fees are paid to the CMSA office. 

5.    HOW TO HANDLE FEES & RESULTS OF A CMSA MATCH

A. A club shall remit $5.00 to CMSA for each contestant on the score sheet.  Remit $5.00 for each of the following:

1.  Cardholders (Adult and Wrangler)

2.  T1 - Temporary Cardholders (Adult and Wrangler)  

3.  NCC - Non Competition Cardholders (Adult and Wrangler)
