Course Setter:Hugh III MacMullan Trail O Karl AhlswedeReply by kathyu on Sun Jan 12, 2014 at 1:36 pmIf it were up to me, every course setter who stepped up to the plate for the first time in 2013 would get an award or at least a pat on the back for taking on the challenge. First time event directors would get a trophy too. And maybe honorable mention to experienced people who gave them advice and assistance. A couple of events this year by newbies were flawless, a couple had glitches, but every event was entertaining in its own way.Reply by edscott on Sun Jan 12, 2014 at 2:03 pmIt is an especially tough year to select one clear winner in either category.Reply by Steve on Sun Jan 12, 2014 at 2:41 pmI beleive Hickory Run Sand Spring was Directed by Janet Porter and designed by Rob Wilkison.Reply by BRycharski on Sun Jan 12, 2014 at 10:21 pmHi, I thought there was two Sets of DVOA awards, One for All "veteran" Course setters, & ED's, and one for First time Course setters, Like Nick Reed the Course setter for Rutgers 2013 event? are we voting for the Newbie Course setters and first time Event Directors, ... and if Yes, can you place the words "First time Volunteer" next to the appropriate vol. person or persons (to recognize how difficult to be brave and move a step up and be a ED, CS) for the first time?
" Of course" that means there are 4 names to submit for the 2 categories.Reply by BRycharski on Sun Jan 12, 2014 at 10:36 pmAlso, (spoiler alert) I think you mistyped the 2013 list and accidently "ommited" the
July 28 Springton manor ( a fine affair even thoug later runners got very soggy) ...don't forget to repost this voter list after checking it again for missing events Karl
Sun Jul 28, 2013 Springton Manor
Reply by Karl on Mon Jan 13, 2014 at 10:20 pmSorry I missed the Springton Manor event. It was not on purpose.There are four categories: Novice Course Setter and Event Director and Veteran Course Setter and Event Director.I agree with Kathy that everyone that volunteers, directs or course sets deserves an award. These are daunting tasks.
