It is the policy of GOHJA that final division
results are not revealed until the Year End Awards
Banquet. The topic of changing our traditional philosophy
on points posting has frequently been discussed at GOHJA Board
Meetings, but it remains the opinion of the Board that we should
continue to keep final points totals, and thus final division
results, secret until the Year End Awards Banquet.
Traditionally, GOHJA posts or publishes points
two times a year; usually once just before mid year and once
just before year end. This gives competitors a chance to
check for any errors in their points. Before the
introduction of the web site, we published these postings in our
newsletter "The Dotted Line".
The reason we only post point totals thru
April for the first posting is because we have several divisions
that only run for half the year...in other words their
"season" is December thru May and another
"season" starts in June and runs thru November.
So in effect, May is "Year End" for these divisions.
If we posted points thru May, everyone would know the placings
in these divisions before our Year End Awards Banquet in
November. For this reason, we will also not post
"year end" points all the way thru November...we'll
post thru Sept or Oct instead. Rest assured that all of
your points are counted, including the May show, even if the
point totals that are posted on the web site do not include the
May numbers.
Anyone that would like to discuss this policy
with the Board is more than welcome to attend the Board
meetings. They are typically held the second Monday of
each month at Gleason's Grille restaurant in Goldenrod.
If you feel there is a error in your points,
please send the specific discrepancy to rsecretary@gohja.org.
Blanket requests for all points for all shows will NOT be
honored. Please be respectful of Heather and her
time. She, as well as all of our volunteers, put in a
tremendous amount of work to make sure that GOHJA is the best
that it can be.
