Victor Habgood for ACF President

Post by vhabgood »

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am officially announcing my bid for 2023 ACF President.
I plan on bringing some changes. I wanted to highlight a few :
More organized online tournaments with referees.
Bringing more members from the online community.
Updated information and better presence throughout.
More international involvement.
Bringing corporate world into sponsorship opportunities.

Please feel free to ask questions and let me know what you would like to see!

Sincerely,
Victor Habgood, LT (ret) US Navy

on the topic of online tournaments, i would like to see the zoom format used more with results going to world ratings.
To much talk about people cheating online via play ok the Zoom format is more welcome.

I totally agree with you. There are a few ways we could play online tournaments and still avoid the cheating. We must take steps right away to start moving in that direction. Thanks for the reply!

The SDA used the zoom format I think more checker clubs can use it plus using it going towards your ratings and with an entry fee like how the SDA did it.
