McDowell Event Posting

[Wild Rover]

Gents,

I can't help but notice the post about the McDowell web site being active has disappeared, or else I can't find it.

Anyone?

Pards,

To the Forum Members displaying a distinct lack of courtesy: it's not appreciated.

To the Gentlemen retaining their manners: you are appreciated.

The McDowell announcements are currently in the Moderator's Discussion area. A cursory examination of the event website shows guidelines for several sections that have not kept up with the progress of history-heavy events. The moderating team is trying to ascertain whether or not the event structure is set up to be history-heavy for this coming year. If appropriate, the event information will be re-listed in the open forum.

This really has nothing to do with "politics", and everything to do with returning to the goal of event listings here on the AC: to make membership aware of top-notch, history-heavy events across the country.

It is reasonable to assume that an official event website contains the most current and valid information for that event, and can be relied upon as a gauge of how far history influences the scenario and standards. Some questions have been raised regarding how well the McDowell site reflects the actual practices of the event structure; when those are resolved, the moderating team will replace the listing as appropriate.
