An idea a about the consistency awards....Something I would really like to see that I feel would truly be a better way to measure the most consistent dogs in the federation is a BLANKET qualifying of ALL the clubs trial.
So yearly the club pays a recording fee and ALL the results for all the advertised trials the club has it gets included in the consistency awards....with the new website for tabulation of points and the ease of input for the results this would allow us to really see the dogs level on consistency. I think this would great simplify the process and provide more incentive for people to run for the award ..if you know before hand that any trial both licensed and sanctioned that takes place in the federation will be counted as a qualifier and gain points towards the consistency award there is no reason not to go....

There does need to be something that forces a club to report their annual results in a timely fashion. If a person attends the trial, he deserves the points. If a club refuses to do their due diligence and report results, the next year their trials should not be allowed to count or be listed as qualifiers.

Danny I didn't know that a club could only hold one NEBGF qualifier per year, so your point is well taken. And my idea becomes even stronger. Don't we want as many dogs as possible qualified to run in our run offs? All if your going to REALLY look at consistency of dogs then you need to count all the trials in the federation.
A good example is a club maybe have up to two licensed trials and on sanctioned all age trial, and one derby trial. So a total of four trials for the year. With the website for input of results and fixed per club recording fee I think that even with the increase in qualified dog it will still be easier then our current system.

..I agree there needs to be some changes to the system. This should be incorporated into my other suggestions. I suggest that we eliminate the need to have a qualifing trial in order to have a vote. I dont see the sense in that and never did, it was a way to make clubs hold a qualififer. I think all clubs should have a vote and all voting should be electronic for all to see.,either on this website for the NEBGF's.
..in the advanced information age we are in these days, it makes no sense to drag people for hundres of miles to sit at a meeting, corporate america figured that out years ago, I guess the beageling public is a little slow. .....................................

good question, but I dont know the answer....I will tell you thius they way we do it now is not good...after every trial we got checks going one way..results another..orso it seems...things get hosed up........
I alspo think if we did a blanket consistecny and raised the fees for every club, say to 100 bucks a club, covers all the trials, a bunch would drop out, !,,,I have to tell you when we sit at the meeting after the trial and explain why we send a boat load of cash to the AKC and then the NEBGF gets a peice.....I get questioned .....this is one of those things we have to tread very lightly on....

One Licensed trial makes no sense if your looking to tabulate consistency points....So for example my dog won both of Broomes licensed 13 male class, why should not they both count? But two sanctioned trials would count from the same club? whats the point in that? Also I am not sure if you the AKC already has limit on the number of sanctioned trials that a club may hold in the year, if so its not even an issue.
Just looked it up, doesn't seem to be limit on sanctioned trials, however the application is sent to the akc from the associations or federation....so there is no reason they couldn't put a limit on the number that a member club can hold.
2 licensed trials, 2 sanctioned trials and a derby trial will cover 99% of out club.....and then you would be have real consistency award, a flat 25 fee....easy input of the results on line with a place in the form that the FTC states were the trials was advertised....simple easy and fair.

Some of the issues being brought up in this thread reflect old conditions and old attitudes...for instance: One Licensed trial makes no sense if your looking to tabulate consistency points....So for example my dog won both of Broomes licensed 13 male class, why should not they both count? But two sanctioned trials would count from the same club? whats the point in that? Also I am not sure if you the AKC already has limit on the number of sanctioned trials that a club may hold in the year, if so its not even an issue.
As I recall the Federation, at the time this was passed, didn't want to encourage clubs to hold a second licensed trial by allowing the second trial to be a qualifier. Times change, so do needs and attitudes. There shouldn't be any reason that the NEBGF can't change along with them.
My own opinion is that I like the per capita fee. 50 cents per dog isn't all that much and its like a flat tax rather than a graduated scale. I'm a bit concerned that if you go to an annual "membership" fee, we will lose a number of our clubs that don't participate now and income will suffer. I don't think the Federaion needs to be sitting on a pile of money. We have no use for a large treasury. I do believe that the consistencies and awards need to be sustained at current levels or even increased to encourage greater participation at the club and Federation level. With that in mind, we would need to assure that income remains steady or increases slightly. JMO

Question: Do we have a list of clubs that do NOT hold NEBGF qualifiers?

If you have a club that is having issues with game/ grounds and they are unable to hold a quality trial and decide to cancel it, currently the club can not vote at the annul meeting. I think this is extremely counter productive and detrimental to the federation, we need to keep clubs in the federation loop not alienate them further when they are having a hard time. A fixed fee fixes that...pay the fee you get a vote and voice...
