"Consolation" Certificates??? No Way!

Fri, 4 Jan 2008, 06:42 pm

  

I am glad you clarified that Paul. (and I am not "blasting you" here...)

    I just want to assure everyone that the Adjudicators Award Certificates are in no way a "Consolation Prize". The intended recipients of these documents are equally and as carefully considered as each and every one of the  "Trophy Awards" and (yes Paul, you are correct) in many cases even more so.

     The "Adjudicators Awards" began being presented to clubs and individuals because, as was said earlier, the ITA do not have unlimited funds and the number of trophies that are able to be purchased simply doesn't cover the number of people that deserve to get one.

    Hence the "Adjudicators Awards" were conceived.

     They are not dished out at random and they are certainly not intended to be an also-ran consolation prize and I am sorry if anyone feels that the certificates are 2nd rate in some way.
