Scott...I have a $20 check and $20 cash from the banquet...I'll bring to the meeting Sunday just in case you are there.

I really wasn't concerned about even using AxWare...yes nothing will change you run just like always in your class all we to do is keep a separate standings sheet for the "over the hill gang" just adds a little extra something to the mix. It might even attract some of the older folks to come out and play. I don't think any of the other local regions do anything like this....I will or someone will keep track of the points and post them. All we need is a count of the 62 and older who want to participate.

We need a sliding scale. The older you are, the lower the Geezer Pax.

DeWitt. ..great idea I'll add to that sliding scale. .more experience higher Geezer PAX ...
Each year over 60 decrease by 1 on your PAX
Each year of experience +1 on your PAX
Example
Paul FS .814 PAX @ 70 years old = .804 PAX
2 years experience +2 = .806 My Geezer PAX
