It's The People - ZCON 2010

Robert_Nash

Actually, I do understand what it takes although I don't understand why would you just assume I don't. I have run events both larger and smaller than ZCON; they had nothing to do with automobiles but the mechanics of running a large convention don't change that much regardless of what the conventioneers are convening about.

The concept of not ordering the trophies ahead of time as some sort of money saver seems silly to me nor has that ever been my experience. I've been in many, many dozens of car shows over the past 30+ years and I've never once gone to a single one where the trophies for the categories were purposely not ordered ahead of time (nor would I bother to go to such a show if I knew that was the plan). Trophies are ordered ahead of time so that they can be presented at the event which is what winners expect (not to mention saving the headache, time and expense of mailing out afterword).

That said, I don't understand why are you concentrating on that issue anyway since that is NOT the issue with trophies at ZCON 2010. ZCCA has never suggested that any trophies were purposely not ordered ahead of time - this was a colossal screw-up; it's just that simple but even that isn't the main point any longer.

The real point now is why, 72 days post event, hasn't everyone who won a trophy gotten their trophy yet?

Not getting them at the "Closing Banquet and Awards Ceremony" (which at this point is an oxymoron) as promised and as most anyone would expect is troubling and should not have happened but what is far more troubling is the apparent and continuing lack of responsibility and response in addressing the problem.
