<VV> Classification and Scoring

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Well, at least someone is making substantive suggestions, rather than  - "I 
am holding me breath until you turn blue!". Thanks, Ken! 
 
I will have more to say later on the whole activity - Seth Emerson

It may be helpful if CORSA would publish a summary of  what is expected of 
a Concours participant and how the event works. Given that  info, I think 
there will be less confusion.

Example: CORSA could  publish the form that must be filled out for any 
Concours entry. The form asks  the participant if the vehicle is known to be a 
Senior vehicle, was the  vehicle driven, towed enclosed, towed in an open 
trailer, etc. Why?  That  info affects scoring. If the participant leaves that 
area blank or can't  answer, a classification must be made. The form asks 
(obviously) for the  owner's name, the vehicle description and the VIN number, 
etc. Why?  One  reason is that if the vehicle wins an award that info is 
required for the  trophy. This form is usually affixed to the outside of 
envelope (packet) that  moves with the vehicle through the Concours.  At 
registration a number is  assigned to the vehicle and that number is displayed in 
the windshield card.  The Judges double check the vehicle number versus the  
packet.

Classification, if needed, is done at Unit 6 the day BEFORE the  Concours. 
Late registration can cause major problems because the Concours Unit  6 
cannot be completed without the packet and registration information.  I  think 
this year three or four vehicles had to have Unit 6 performed at the  
Concours field prior to the start. This is unfair to the folks who followed  the 
Rule and had Unit 6 done the day before, etc..  Of course, hardship  cases may 
occur but they should be rare exceptions.

It would be good  also, IMHO, if representative copies of the blank scoring 
sheets the judges  will use were published. The sheets are in the packet 
but it might help if  those sheets were available well before the event for 
possible participants to  view on the CORSA website. Doing so would show the 
potential participant the  areas that will be judged and the topic's weight. 
A lot of effort has been  made in refining those sheets to make the judging 
easier and more  accurate.
