OAA News
July 23rd, 2010 - The Provincial Championships were a huge success, with 117 entries. Full results can be found here. A productive Annual General Meeting was held and a number of decisions were made:
A new Team of the Year points system will be used for 2010-2011:
- Unlimited number of team members
- Only best five placings at circuit events count for points (5 points for 1st, 4 points for 2nd, 3 points for 3rd, 2 points for 4th, 1 point for 5th)
- All team members who compete in a circuit event automatically earn 1 point (regardless of number of categories entered)
- Tournament Director, Referees, Scorekeeper, and Emcee earn 1 point each (if someone has two roles such as scorekeeper
/emcee, only 1 point is earned)
New region boundaries will be adopted:
- North/East
- Central
- West
- South (including Toronto area)
The OAA annual membership fee will be raised to $30, starting in 2011.
The entry fee for circuit sanctioned events will now be $25, with $5 going directly to the OAA.
The 2011 Provincial Championships will be held in Belleville by Joe Gould.
Women's classes at circuit sanctioned events may be run in a different fashion, pending participation (possibly triple elimination, with matches spread throughout the day).
The penalty fee for obtaining a bye to Nationals will rise to $200 starting in 2011. $30 will go to the Provincial Championships tournament director, $30 will go towards a yearly membership, and $140 will go to the OAA.
