STILL NO RESULTS FROM THE PIAKO GP...TYPICAL!

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO PUT UP RESULTS?

AFTER ALL IT WOULD PROBABLY ONLY TAKE ABOUT 5 MINS OUT OF SOMEONES DAY....

UHMMMM NZAFTA RIGHT ON TO IT.

I'll reply to this and explain the process for everyone's benefit again.

1. A shoot is held.
2. The results get emailed to me.
3. Sometimes I don't get the emails till a few days later. Mid week in some cases. This can be because the person sending these results works, and is busy themselves. This is not an issue. It's not an important thing. Patience is required.
4. If and only if I am not in the middle of my work roster, I work 6 on and 4 off, which requires me to be asleep during the day or night as required, I will open emails and action them. I don't devote every single waking minute to answering every single email I get.
5. Once I have the shoot results email open. I will check the shooters registered and update their score accordingly in the excel workbook I developed. I will send if necessary any query's back to the sender of the email, if any of the details are not able to clearly confirmed. Examples of this are handwriting not clear, or the score not clear. If I have had to send a query away, it will take further time for a reply to get back to me. Until this occurs I will not post the results. I want to be as accurate as possible.
6. Once I have the scoreboard updated. I take a screenshot of it, and save the image. I then upload it to the forum, and write the Match report, or copy the match report that has been sent. I also spell check, and make it all nice and legible for people to read.
7. Once I have all of this done, I double check it, and then post.

So in answer to your above post. I don't do slap bang, ugly looking table results. I spend quite a bit of time, making sure that what is posted comes out in a format which I take pride in, is semi professional format and the information is correct. It takes me more than 5 minutes.

I don't appreciate the constant posts, or direct messages, or the emails in capital letters demanding I read my emails. Or demanding results be posted on the forums. I have taken pride in being able to develop the scoreboard for NZAFTA as well as a few other applications.

I will post the results when all of the above steps have been completed. If this takes a few days, or even longer then that is what it takes.

I ask you for your patience, and to just take a moment and think about maybe there is more to what is going on than you realise. Results last year were up within 2-5 days following a shoot. Piako's shoot was on the 14th. Results up on the 19th. I had to clarify a shooters name and scores as per the above.

Thanks

Andrew

Thanks Earle, you beat me to it. I've been ill and not near my computer to do this.

STILL NO RESULTS FROM THE PIAKO GP...TYPICAL!

That's great. Agreed
Who is organising all that? Dunno
Is there a need to assign tasks to others so that everything is ready to go? Definitely
And plenty of time to organise it? As of today 128 days

That's great. Who is organising all that? Is there a need to assign tasks to others so that everything is ready to go, and plenty of time to organise it?

Nationals are being planned to go ahead.

What is happening about the Nationals too?

I sneeze, I fart, sometimes I even wet my pants doing both. Where has this decision been forwarded to the legit NZAFTA Clubs for discussion?

While many Sport NZ fraternities have planned ahead for when we emmerge from Covid 19, the BOG have finally awaken with this dictorial anouncement.

Sorry BOG, this 'spanks!'

Please re-think, before NZ FT plummets further towards total apathy.

While Southern shooter's heeled to the premature cancellation of 643FT's Queen's Birithday double header. I was surprised Waikato's lucretive team shoot was cancelled thru lack of interest. Why are Northern Shooter's shy to a short trip South of the Bombay Hills?

When NZ last held the 2014 Worlds...we regathered from the 'dust' & shot two days of 80 targets. Not-one international shooter complained, we all just got on & did our 'bit'.  

BOG please work to the calendar year. Plan, devise creatively & communicate...don't frustrate.

Shoot straight. Not this ready, fire, aim stuff...

Cheers, Brandon.

Update to GP Series for 2020

Competitions can recommence now that we are in Level 1 and restrictions have been lifted.

There is no need for a club to keep a contact log. This is down to the individual if they so choose to keep a record of their travels.

Although common sense still dictates that if you are unwell, or are showing Flu/Cold like symptoms please stay home, and not put your fellow shooters at risk.


The 2020 GP series will be extended to include the first 3-4 months of 2021. To make up for the shooting we have lost due to COVID. An email is going out to the clubs asking if they can sort some dates out, and return them to the COMP Sec, so these can be put on the forums.

Will update further when I have more.

Okay so I had my arse verbally kicked today by the Forum Administrator's keyboard.

Shit it was worth every penny and didn't hurt a bit, the Forum's now looking 'spic n' span'.

Well done Mr Administrator.

Pretty obvious, 'everything' must stop until further notice from the PM.

What is concerning me....NZ still has 100,000 foreign tourists here. Many don't give a damn, they are freedon camping & bludging off our vulnerability. Some are working partime crop-picking & could be unwittingly spreading the virus.

Any overseas travel within the next year would be crazy. Just immagine when Covid 19 series 2 rears it head!

I'm hopeful during this time of home stay, that the Forum Administrator('s) finally get into the long over-due 'housework clean-up'.

I for one have not been a WAG Member, or Moderator for many years yet there I am on the home page.

Pinkmist's head-line posted 2016.....should be either achived or deleted.

The For Sale topic, is well & truely constipated with dead turds.

Yep I'm miffed, frustrated & angry that NZ could have been in safer situation had all recent overseas visitors been properly managed as potential virus carriers, before being allowed to disperse amongst us.

My advice....talk to your neighbour's & see if they are happy for you to set-up private home air gun plinking areas. Stay safe, drink deep exhale safely.

Whats going to happen now that we are going to go into lockdown? plus whats going on with the worlds this year? is it still on? it would be good to know these things.
