NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
I can see that there are a lot of NHMS-2 misclassifications:
(4 PC, 3 SPB, 1 SPC)
I think that I have found a way to anticipate what trophies to order but if any of these people are reading this list please be advised that you will need to determine your correct class in order to get past tech inspection.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
I think it's a bit crazy at this point that we still have this problem. Has anyone contacted Fred and just asked to have the old classes removed from the drop down list? I would think it would be a simple way to purge any memberships that are not updated yet and prevent folks from selecting an obsolete class?

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
Paul, yes it may be crazy but the solution is not to remove old car classes from a list. The solution is to have the membership chair include a nasty letter in the "member appreciation package" to the offending members.
Seriously, imo no problem exists, the COM rules clearly state the rules about car classification.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
I ran into this situation the beginning of last year when ordering trophies. A message was sent out to all the members and also posted on the forum to go onto their profile and make the appropriate and correct changes. Obviously there are some that do not spend the time to do this and do not realize how much effort it takes others to correct it. It messes up the count for the run groups, ordering trophies, tech inspection, etc. Maybe we need to make a total membership blast and let them know how important it is and the confusion it is causing. It only takes a few minutes of their time.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
Why give people the option to choose classes that are invalid? Removing them seems like the obvious solution.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
It is not the "new" members that have obsolete classifications.
It appears to be members that previously selected an old and then valid class that now show an invalid class. These people now need to go into their own online profile and revise with a new classification.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
Can we set them all to a null value so that they're forced to re-select a class? Or delete their cars from their profiles so they have to re-create them? Shouldn't be difficult to do a lookup on all the old classes and delete the values from the DB.
Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
Such a big pain with a simple solution - Each member has to go in and update their profile - simple - If they do not do it the problem still remains.
The rules committee has sent out an email to the membership at the start of last year due to the touring class changes and again this year with the super classes added to update their profile and running class with the new evaluation sheet.
Each member has to take the time for a few minutes and help fix this problem with the profile update.

Simpler solution:
Trophy Chair: The People's Curse Award in lieu of a valid trophy.
Hospitality Chair: No Soup for You!

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
If the class can be NULL then: update set car.class = NULL where car.class = <bad classes>;
If they cannot be NULL, then: update set car.class = <send them to SU > where car.class = <bad classes>;
If they cannot be NULL, then: update set car.class = <send them to SU > where car.class = <bad classes>;

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
The simple solution is to void out the profile and they have to go back in to correct it before they can register for the next event. At this time I counted 9 cars registered for NH2 in the old classes.
Obviously they cannot pass tech inspection with the wrong class and go on track. At tech inspection they will have to change their class to run and we can notify them they have to correct there profile or it will keep happening again.
The majority of the club has their profiles correct. It appears to be past members that not have run with us for a couple of years and are returning. New people go through the process of classification and should be correct.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
The more practical solution would be to at each event starting with NHMS-2, work with each person who was misclassified (either invalid or incorrect) to encourage them to go back into the COM web site and update their settings so that in the future when they register they will default to the correct class.
After-all, even people who were registered for a valid class may be registered as the wrong class. In either case, I end up having to anticipate some changes in the trophy list.

Rebecca,
Good idea. maybe Will or John can bring it up at the drivers meeting in the morning to reiterate how important it is.

Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
I could just delete any registration submitted with an invalid classification.
Re: NHMS-2 registration misclassifications
lets not do that. I would rather get people to the event and then help them resolve the discrepancy.
