Friday we will be getting down to business. I'm excited for some fireworks. From what I've experienced so far this year seems pretty tame. Most of the major issues already have momentum to pass but we'll see how that works out. I was especially surprised that almost everyone in the room for the presentation of MITF seemed to be in favor of the changes. The only concerns from the crowd were centered around the timing of implementation (Sept 1st, 2010) and educational programs for judges and coaches (to be done in the fall of 2009). Participants felt it would be better to have a big push in education in Spring 2010. That way people could finish up the competitive season and then focus on the new moves for Spring and Summer giving them time to get ready for tests after Sept 1.
More tomorrow.
Thanks Phillip, While MIF are not my thing (directly) I've always felt some of the recent changes were pushed to implementation too early, in my opinion, this created a huge learning curve, for the coaches, competitors and judges leading to unnecessary "quick fixes" in the rule book. I'm sure there are a lot of deadlines in the publishing of new rules that I'm not aware of, I feel a smooth transition is preferable to a rushed implementation.
