Wade,  what will ski log scores really show?  Those scores are highest of set but not necessarily in any order.  For example, I can make 1 at -28 but I haven't completed a -22 !?!?  Just thinkin'...

Sure

Sure, go for it!

i'm on board,  thanks for putting it together Wade.   so will you start it 2010 with 09 logs or will it just be for new logged sets after you get it up and running?

Can you set it up so people can opt out?  Some of us may be embarassed!

I'm not saying I would opt out myself... I don't even have a ski log.......... yet.

Sounds good to me.

Hey Wade what a great idea... I am in for sure, hey it will make us be serious about every set   Looking forward to next years season....

Great point Deke. I think the goal would be to complete your 22 off pass. When you fill out your "best score" if you didn't run 22, then 1@28 wouldn't be your best score in a tournament-style set.

So we're looking for the best balance of training effectiveness and a fun way to encourage some friendly competition. More thoughts always welcome.

Maybe it would be good to separate the tournament style ball count from whatever you want to call the other.  They're both important and tracking the latter helps you see your progress in getting to your next hurdle even though it may have taken 2 or 3 tries.

For sure. I'm still mulling over the options for this. If it's a true tournament set, there is already a pull-down in the log for "tournament" and "practice".  The way I want to move is to encourage some interleague competition. So there are a few issues that come up, when you have all different varieties and levels of skiers skiing different amounts throughout each week of the summer. I want to see teams and weekly tournaments. But then there's also the problem of sandbagging. That'd be a total waste of time to log a lot of sets when it's going off your average score -- but if you just click the "tournament" button to log your score, then I think we will pick up a few people who aren't as genuine as the rest of us.

I hear what you're saying about one tournament set a day. Personally I haven't even been doing very many tournament sets -- I did a lot of 32 offs this year. So my average looks a little lower than it should. As a suggestion for advancing your techniuque, I would recommend cleaning your 22 off passes really smoothly before shortening it up to 28. The better your 22s, the better your 28s. Same thing I've been doing this year with all my 32s.

When we get to the point that we'll be scoring on a weekly basis, I'm thinking that we're going to pick a random set and take your score from that set versus your average score. So if you ski 6 buoys better than your average, your score would be 6. Team scores would be the average of all the skiers on the team.
