POLL: Who here is a member of IMPBA or NAMBA

[longballlumber]

THAT's FUNNY! With the CRAP that one has to take during the process of trying to "help" write the rule proposals, etc... YAH, I know I'M PSYCH'D to get involved with that again!!!

It's been SOOOO much fun in the past!!

NAMBA, especially, needs a COMPLETE FE rule overhaul.... I'd LOVE to get this done NOW... Several of us actually have proposals ALREADY written and ready for discussion... But after the ordeals in trying to get the rules implemented the past couple of years (adding Lipos, etc.)... I don't think any of us are really all that thrilled about wading into that hornets nest again...

I never made the assumption it was an easy or seamless process to change the rules. Nor am I interested in the "fun" politics of NAMBA or IMPBA.

I am more interested in the percentage of population that actually becomes a member. By being a member you have a VOTE in what happens.

NAMBA, because it's wide spread in the West Coast.
I would love to get involved in the rule making discussions, but it seems that
it always ends up with the same few guys (not necessarily FE) writing what is "best" for us...
and since I am mostly willing to embark on this by myself, it's a lost cause... for now.

NAMBA and only because I have to to be able to enter our club races.

Agree Darin. I know how you feel. I spent a lot of time and effort working with one of the IMPBA district directors trying to enact some changes. Never again. I don't need the continued 'bashing'.

Or better yet, being a member and helping to write rules, help develop a club… Yada yada yada… I think you get my point.

With all of the discussion about rules and such. I am curious how many of you are members of one organization or another.

I am a member of both IMPBA and NAMBA.

I find its funny how quickly people will criticize the rules, but are not participating by being a member and voteing. Or better yet, being a member and helping to write rules, help develop a club… Yada yada yada… I think you get my point.
