Management’s Musings

Our third match of the 2012 South Bay Trap League season at Sunnyvale continued our string of successful matches. We had a good turn-out of participants, with exactly 105 shooters participating. Fortunately, even with the time constraints at Sunnyvale (and there only being two shoot-off events) we were able to finish the match before 5PM. Our thanks to everyone for cooperating with the "shoot 50" singles format, which really speeds up the overall match. Since the singles format was so successful, we’re planning on continuing with this approach for the rest of the SBTL events this year.

One other thing happened that helped speed up the whole sign-in process. Many people have chosen to "pre-squad" their attendance at the SBTL matches. If you’re planning on shooting at least half of the matches, it is to your and our benefit that you get "pre-squaded." Just give us a call or send an e-mail for those events you won’t be able to attend and we’ll take care of it. Remember, those shooters who are "pre-squadded" pickup their cards and go directly to the cashier without having to stand in line at the handicap desk, which we think is a big benefit for all concerned.

Steve and Kerry would like to take this opportunity to thank all the individuals who helped with the organization and running of the Sunnyvale match. Without your contribution of time and knowledge, the SBTL would not be possible. Which brings up another point: SBTL is a totally volunteer organization. Nobody gets paid for their hours spent setting up the newsletter, establishing handicap yardages, developing squad positions, preparing the scoring sheets, collecting entrance fees, entering data, posting scores, running shoot-offs, or obtaining and handing out awards. We do all these things because we enjoy trap shooting and we want to make the SBTL experience enjoyable for as many participants as possible.

If you are interested in advertising your business in our digital and hardcopy newsletter, please let Steve, Kerry, or Warren know. We love to have people involved in the sport of trap shooting take the opportunity to potentially increaset their business. And it’s quite inexpensive!

If you have not already done so, please send us your e-mail address. We will use it only for contacting you with non-urgent messages (like this monthly newsletter) and will not release, divulge, or sell it to spammers foreign or domestic. We don’t like spam any more than you do, but by having your e-mail address we can significantly reduce the costs of running the SBTL so that we can continue giving out really great trophies throughout the SBTL season.

Happy Shooting!!

Kerry and Steve

REMINDER: The Newman shoot is on the FIRST SATURDAY in May

Notes from the Shoot Office: Miscellaneous Stuff ...

First, the shoot office would like to quickly thank all the shooters that pre-squadded while at Sunnyvale. We had a huge batch that converted and anticipate that this will save time for everyone.

Those pre-squadded shooters can simply grab their card, review their handicap and assuming they have no questions, skip the handicapping and squadding lines and go straight to cashier where Glenn and Kirk will be happy to take your funds.

Between scorers and knowledgeable shooters, we saw that there were a batch of scoring corrections where "dead" was written in the scoring box. We are excited that we did not have to take away hard fought birds from shooters due to technical scoring errors. Keep up the good work.

We had one unfortunate issue crop up at the Sunnyvale shoot. We accidentally released an incorrect payout to an unidentified shooter on behalf of another shooter. SBTL has fixed the problem with that shooter, and we have changed our policy on who is allowed to pickup winnings for whom at the shoots. From Sunnyvale forward only the shooter, his/her spouse or parent may receive winnings from the bank. We apologize for the inconvenience that this might cause, but we need to make sure that everyone is handled equitably and that all winnings are disbursed properly.

To all those shooters that were gracious enough to let us know that they would not be shooting with us in May, we extend a hearty THANK YOU!! !! It really helps us with pre-planning each shoot when we know who will be with us and who will not. Please remember, it is courteous to your fellow shooters to let us know when you are not shooting. It makes it easier for management to determine if we need to fill squads ahead of time as we cannot always easily do this at the last minute.

If you are pre-squadded and you plan to shoot, we don’t ask you to do a thing. Jus t show up and shoot!

If you are pre-squadded and do not plan to shoot, please take advantage of one of the ways to contact us:

1. Wait until you receive our automated Pre-squad Reminder Notice about a week before the shoot and "push the button",
2. Send us a note through the website at http://www.sbtl.org
3. Call us on our contact number.

We still have several people that have not declared teams. When next you register, please check the upper right corner of your card to confirm that your scores are being registered with some team. It is possible that your score could be the one that makes a difference this year in the overall team standings!!

One more thing, remember that the May shoot is out of our normal second Saturday Cycle. See you on the FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY. CELEBRATE CINCO DE MAYO with the SBTL at Newman!!!

Thx,

Warren FAY
