Dear all,
The reason that Mackay has been so reluctant to start accepting nominations for the Nationals is the following policy from SSAA National:
If a competitor from any state or territory is unable to attend a National Championship due to COVID 19 restrictions, (this may include the requirement to isolate on return to their home State). If the event is able to proceed, the event may not be considered a National Championship.
In the above circumstance the event may be renamed Fly Shoot 2021 Championship
• SSAA National Championship medals will not be awarded if the event is not considered a National Championship, perpetual trophies and Hall Of Fame points would also not be awarded.
• Any local prizes and SSAA Merchandise certificates would still be able to be awarded.
If, during the event, a border closes anywhere in Australia, this could trigger the above policy’s application.
I have been in touch with the SSAA National Shooting Sports Manager about this matter.
If the above policy may need to apply to the event, I will contact the National Shooting Sports Manager and work together with him to seek a determination as to the status of the event.
There is the possibility that the closure of a border will not trigger the application of the policy, where it can be adequately demonstrated to SSAA National that competitors were not affected by the closure.
I appreciate everybody’s patience in these uncertain times, Mackay will be opening nominations to the event shortly.
The above policy will be on the nomination form and each competitor will need to sign the form acknowledging it.
Regards,
Dave
