Important Notice Regarding Your Sweepstake Points
.

LRCA Members,

There have been a number of issues that have affected the 2010 -2011 sweepstakes. The first is that there were no less than 4 different people that had received sanction requests and show reports over the past several months. With each change of the sanction/sweepstakes person, delays have been experienced as clubs and individuals fail to take note of changes on the LRCA website, ARBA website, and notices appearing in the Domestic Rabbits magazine. By not following the updates regularly, many show secretaries have sent show reports to the incorrect person, which has either resulted in a gross delay in me receiving the reports in order to enter them into the sweepstakes files, or perhaps the reports not arriving at my location at all. The above coupled with a virus on my computer which wiped out quite a number of show reports, has resulted in delays of updates.

Along with the above, I just recently received a number of files that contained the information on which shows over the past year did indeed sanction with the LRCA. It was impossible for me to enter show reports when I did not know what shows had been sanctioned, thus a compound effect on the delay in updates to the sweepstakes.

I totally understand the membership is eager to see their point standings, and I assure each of you that we are doing everything possible to get all of the reports in and tallied as quickly as possible. I anticipate that within the next week to 10 days we will have a final sweepstakes standings posted for the 2010-2011 sweepstakes year. Many of the show reports that have been listed as not received, have indeed been received within the past couple of weeks.

I expect that the new sweepstake year will not encounter the issues we had this past year, as sanctions are being issued and show reports recorded as they are received.

If anyone has questions regarding the sweepstakes, please contact me at rwgehr@cbcast.com. Contacting a Board member will only result in delays to your query as none of the Board members are involved in issuing sanctions or recording show reports. They will be unable to help you at this time. Please contact me directly if you have any concerns, and you will receive a response.

Thank you for your patience as we work on the issues realized due to the change in sanction/sweepstakes personnel over the past year. As soon as results have been tabulated they will be posted on this website.
