SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES TO THE DISTRICT POLICY AS TO STaCs
There has been a considerable amount of discussion and concern over the District's policy as to STaCs, and at its Board meeting in Gatlinburg the District Board did clarify and/or amend some of its policies.
It retained the policy of having not more than four STaCs in any given
year, with one to be in support of future NABCs in District 7, one for
the benefit of the Units in District 7, one for the benefit of future NABCs
in District 10 (this is actually, of course, a District 10 STaC in which
we participate), and finally, as an optional additional STaC, for charity.
Since the STaC for charity is to be held only when specifically directed
by the Board, we did not schedule it in any way.
After several discussions and motions, the STaCs will be held as follows:
1. The STaC to benefit District 10 NABCs to be determined by District 10
(normally they have held it either the last week of January or the first
week of February)
2. The STaC to benefit future NABCs in District 7 (while there was considerable discussion about moving the date, the final decision was to leave it as it is currently being held, in December, normally the second week).
3. The STaC to benefit the Units will be held in June with the date to
vary on a year to year basis depending on whether we are holding a Regional
in Raleigh over Memorial Day or in June in Greenville or some other place
in the District.
We did agree on the following additional policies as to STaCs: A. We can obtain a set of hand records electronically from the ACBL at nominal cost. These hand records will be distributed electronically to all participating clubs, and those clubs shall have the option whether or not they want to use the hand records. If they do, they shall be responsible for the duplication of the hand record so that it is available to their players. No club will be required to use the hand record. Since this can be done at nominal cost to District 7, no higher entry fees will be necessary as a result of this policy. B. In order to participate in the main, overall status (in accordance with recommended ACBL procedure) a game must be five tables or greater in size. Those games that are less than five tables will be lumped together to create a second overall consisting of all of the games with less than five tables.
All clubs participating in a STaC should be made aware of these and any
other Conditions of Contest by providing a copy or advising them where
they are located on the District website.
