The Plastic Pilots are set to receive a professional scoreport, like SoCal uses; we're going to have our own custom cards printed, so I thought I'd see if there was any accepted pattern of colour-coding in effect, before I take it to a higher authority.

Gold seems to be a natural for Open; this jibes nicely with the top coding for Course difficulty. Indigo would naturally follow as the choice for Open Women, as "erimine" is not an option. :o;)

...so what follows?

Something similar to the Courses' levels?

Perhaps Green for Rec?

Blue [Chip] for Advanced?

Yellow for Baggers? :o:D

...should the age-protected Open divisions be incremental tones of Gray, 'til Legends is a snowy white? :eek:

Any input concidered, etc. :)

I say print generic cards in a variety of colors with no division printed on them. Hand write the division as you sign up players.

What I found while running SoCal tournaments was that you would run out of certain colors as that color fell into favor and was used more. Then you would need to go to another color. By printing the division on the cards, if you get tons of MA2 players and few FPOs, then you will run out of MA2 cards whilst sitting a giant stockpile of FPO cards.

If you don't print the divisions, you can switch MA2 to pink later to use up your existing stock before placing another order. I think it leaves you a lot more flexibility if you don't slave the colors to particular divisions.

Prudent thinking...however Curt and Erik of Mars Printing in Cerritos, CA, can get us basically all we want, printed on their scrap/overstock.

If 'money were no object', would there be norms or standards?

...shades of baby blue/ pink for Juniors?

We still plan to put lettering on the cards; colour won't be the only 'clue' for people wishing to discern between the divisions.

...but perhaps if we eschew the colour, ther'll be more room for lettering.

Can those of us in the private sector get a scorecard or only for tournaments?

Anyone (http://www.ifoatlanta.com/scoreport.html). ;)

...so perhaps just leave them white; more room for the lettering...http://themooneysuzuki.com/media/common/emoticons/rollseyes.gif
