Yesterday I provided alternative proposals to the USHPA Competition Workgroup proposal for a new USHPA Competition Rulebook with the addition of a manual. So far all the discussion (other than some that is found here in the Oz Report) has centered around the documents, but these documents will not actually do much to advance the goals (as vaguely defined as they are) of the Competition Workgroup or the USHPA 2005 Strategic plan.

The documents (mine included) are really weak reeds when it comes to the goals of increasing the numbers of competitions and the number of competitors. The Workgroup has no particular reason to think that the changes that they have made to the documents will produce the changes that they hope for.

It's going to take a much difference approach. I have provided suggestions here, here and here.
