Top Dude Award
Every year at the Fab Feb we have the Top Dude Awards for those who do best overall the 3 World Cup events. Previously we used a modified World Cup scoring system. This year we used the World Cup scoring straight, thanks to Ian Kaynes for doing the calculations! We did consider an alternative calculation scheme in an imaginary conversation with Chris Edge (listen to anything EoB says, especially when Mike Fantham is around) and Aram Schlosberg (see Aram’s alternate Am Cup scoring proposal) but abandoned these in the interest of simplicity, see concepts without proof below.
Roland Koglot – F1A
Walt Ghio – F1B
Roy Summserby – F1C
Ian Kaynes – F1Q
Bob Sifleet- F1E
Looking at results the overall Top Dude has to be Roy Summersby as he won all 3 events in his class. Roy benefitted from a smaller field, but no one said Top Dude was fair. Both the F1A and F1B there were tough fields with many former World Champs and World Cup winners. So a strong performance by both Roland and Walt. Home field advantage to Walt, but again who said it was fair. In Q Shmulik had pretty hi-tech airplane but FFTSC Chairman Kaynes showed that the thermal does not know how much you paid for your airplane and Ian took top spot. The Andrist brothers brought a lot of youthful enthusiasm and vigor to the Feb Feb events and it was Dominik’s turn in F1E but Bob Sifleet showed that age and cunning beats youth and vigor, even in F1E.

Not fair, so the alternate idea was should we modify the score by the number of World Champs or World Cup winners they beat? Or a bonus for the distance traveled, or penalty for the size of the on field entourage, or an even bigger penalty for each comment the off-field entourage makes on Facebook. How do we fiddle the numbers if they retrieved on a motor bike? Or an ATV? Or a bike? Or on foot? Or maybe their wife or daughter chased the models? Did the model have a tracker? flasher or GPS ? What about the size of the binos the timekeeper used? That’s all too tough, let’s just use the World Cup scoring, everyone understands that, well almost everyone…..
What’s Current in Tracker Tech ?

Roger,
I am having to retire from active competition.
I have one of Dick Wood’s graphic thermal detectors I would like to find a new home for.
I understand he is not making them any more.
I am asking if you would post this in the next SCAT for me.
Rarely available “Wood Machine” graphic thermal detector $500.00 incl. shipping Cont. US.
If you know what this is, you know why you want one.
