Thanks, 804. That's a start, we now know that he has a secondary job title that actually helps to define what it is that he was hired to do.
The primary question still hasn't been answered and I doubt that the phone number on the back of the card will yield the details that I am looking for. I am 99% sure of that, too. Do you really think that if I call Muncie, they will give me a detailed audit of what the TD does day in and day out?
We're not looking for some boiler plate "mission statement", just a few minutes worth of honest commentary to justify the need for a Competitions Director position, [complete with assistants no less].
The competitions book is virtually unchanged in many areas since I first got into the hobby over 20 years ago [some of it is in sore need of updating]. The contest formats haven't changed much, if at all. The system is on auto-pilot. Questions about local contests and sanctioning could be handled at the district level, anything beyond that could go to either the prez or EC for clarification.
Let's hear some convincing arguments for why the TD/CD at the national level is needed?
