Membership Update

E-mail Print PDF

We have a total of 115 single/family memberships (with a total number of members 223). This is up +/-10% on last year when we had 104 memberships.

We also welcomed 29 new memberships into ASSA.

This is also our highest number of members since ASSA formed in 1996, which shows that our attrition rate is exceeded by new member numbers.

As a collective we should now encourage as many of these mushers as possible to support ROC’s to ensure the ongoing growth of the sport.

ASSA want to provide the framework for success but the mushing community needs  to deliver the outcome!

POINTS SYSTEM FORMULA

RPS = (Duration factor) X (Winner’s time overall / Individual’s time overall) X 100
For a one heat (or one stage) race, the Duration factor shall be 0.8, for a 2 heats (or stages) race the factor will be 1.0 and for 3 heats (or stages) the factor will be 1.2. For stage races, the factor shall be increased by 0.1 above 1.2 for each heat/stage above three stages.
