Information needed for Masters
World Championships games determination
The following information will be
used to make a determination as to which games will be awarded the 2008 Masters
World Championship competition. Please
refer to the SMAI MWC sanctioning plan for required elements.
Organizations wishing to host the games should gather this information and
submit it to Bill Scruggs, Executive Director of SMAI, via email at
mtnbilly{at}hughes{dot}net
Festivals in their development of a proposal to host the MWC
should look carefully at the SMAI Sanctioning Plan and determine how they are
going to meet all the requirements described therein.
The proposal should go over all the details of these plans.
It should also contain the information requested below.
- What date are the games?
- Are the games one day or two days?
- How many rooms are available locally (near the
games site) to accommodate the expected number of athletes and their
families for the games? What are
the typical room costs?
- What are the nearest arrival cities (i.e.,
large airport cities) and what transportation is available to the games city
from the arrival cities? What
transportation is available from local accommodations to the game’s field?
- What tourist sights are located near the games
city?
- What is the normal weather for the area at the
time of the games?
- What rules will be used for the games and how
many qualified judges are available locally (we sometimes have judges who
wish to travel to the games for the experience to supplement the local
supply)?
- What implements and weights are available
locally? How many and which
events do you normally have and how many are you willing to have (at least
8)? (see accompanying
description of previous MWCs)
- Can you provide sizes of cabers to accommodate
a wide range of abilities from the 40-year-old to the 70+ athlete as well as
women masters.
- How large is the field and how many athletes
have you had in the past (the maximum)?
- Can you start competition early (9:00 am) to
accommodate the number of athletes’ classes and events?
- What would you need to charge as an entry fee
to athletes?
- Any other items you feel we should know about
your games which would help in our decision between those games we are
considering for the MWC.
