2015 RCCA / Usrcca series general info

[JohnRobHolmes]

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

What places is rcorva going to use to promote all the events? RCC is a very limited area for promotion. I know that an area of concern in the past with qualifier fees was what promotion is there? If this is to succeed and grow we need to reach a wider audience. So with RECON G6 on board are companies like axial going to help out in any way?

RCC, facebook, and magazines to start. There is no qualifier fees.

We can start getting sponsors involved directly through ORVA once we have established membership and data showing who does what/when/where. Right now they want to see data, and starting out fresh there is none. That is another reason it is very important to post up your comps or get togethers even if it is just a few people.

Will we be able to go back in afterward and enter an event?

We have a comp tomorrow and I was hoping to take advantage of the RCORVA system, but haven't been able to get signed up as an event coordinator to set it up.

Yes, you can backlog events and data. I'm not in the position to enable accounts right now or I would do so for you.

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

You will at least need to register on the site and we will make you a coordinator if you are the person in charge of your clubs events. If you are a driver, then set up your account as a driver and we will make you a coordinator too.

Get togethers are nothing more than hanging out, they do not receive series points. We have made them just like a comp on the site so that people will know what sort of rigs and driving types will be around.


I would suggest that all people at the event register for your event through RC ORVA so that you can benefit from premade drivers lists and score sheets. They do not have to be members and there is no fees involved for them if you are not selling tickets through RC ORVA. If they do not register through the site you will have a lot more work for yourself and your event won't hold as much "weight" of driver attendance. Any person who decides to become a Driver at a later date can get all the seasons points they have accumulated IF they are at least registered on the site.




We will be starting the club coordinator accounts today.

How will we know when our club coordinator account has been created? I submitted our club info in the contacts thread, and I have registered and joined RCORVA.

Club events will count towards point series'.

So which one is it? Do our monthly comps count for points toward Nats/Worlds or not?

Monthly comps, which can only be entered by an event coordinator, count. Get togethers, which any registered driver can set up, do not.

That makes sense.

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

Hi Everyone,

My buddy and I are in the process of getting some land use in a state park where I live. In order to do this we need to get all of our duck in line and one of their issues they are having is speed. We are wanting to build a crawler course and the park authorities are on board, they showed us the land today. Is there any specific turn to turn motors that you guys have to have specifically by your rules? Thanks for any help

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

There are no motor turn limits. Most competitive Usrcca drivers run between 1500 and 2700 kv motors, or 35 to 27t in one of our motor lines.


I shipped out some contract motors today, they have been taking the majority of my time. I'll go through the club list tomorrow and start on publishing the informations and lists we have been discussing here.

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

Trying to modify users and pages without much luck today, the back end needs some tweaks for full functionality. Tomorrow morning I'll be meeting with the developer so we can go over and resolve my controls interface.

So in the mean time, ask if there are any more questions and I'll start fleshing out the documentations.

I have been trying to delete my duplicate comp event, but the delete button doesn't do anything. Thanks

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

Also, when will it be live to go back and edit events? I have been working on the event flyer/posters and would like to go back and add one to our current event listing.


**EDIT**
Figured out how to add the photo!!

Are you guys posting get togethers our events? How are you creating events?

We are submitting events, but as of when we did, they were reviewed then posted by JRH's admin staff after approval.

Right. But how did you post an event? Did you register add a coordinator? If I am going to coordinate for my club, should I just go ahead and register add a coordinator or wait to hear from JRH?

 

[M_ENERGY]

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

Harvo I registered as a driver and JRH added me as a coordinator for our area. I just checked on there on day and I had access to adding events.

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

what is the reason it goes to PP when I create an event?? I hope we are not going to have to pay a fee to RCORVA for each event we hold.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

Re: 2015 Usrcca series

It's an automatic hook for events that have fees, for example if we were going to charge for a regional (we are not). It should also say $0 in the cart and if you tried to complete the pp transaction it would have no value. We haven't figured out how to avoid the automatic pp jump while keeping the ability of event fees. There are other organizing bodies that need the option.

Email through rcorva if you are your club coordinator but didnt get enabled. Everybody should be covered but mistakes do happen!

Good to know that would be a total deal breaker in my mind if we would have to pay RCORVA to hold our own comps for our club.

Apparently I am not a coordinator and I could not find any email links on the entire site. At all. Please help me

EDIT: So I tried to register as a Coordinator because I could not find any other links for contacting RCORVA. It said I was submitted but then asked me to pay. I already registered and paid as a driver. I am coordinating for ETRC so I'm not supposed to pay for that.

Suggestion... add a "contact us" link on the website.

Edit again: got an email after I closed without paying. There was an email link there.
