Free 60th Birthday Speeches For Dad

pigeon racing in Germany. Institutional Strategy (Part 2)

The interviews (see analysis section 1) have shown that conflict and lack of sociability are counted among breeders of the main problems for the pigeon sport. The main causes of the unrest between the breeders are issues that have to do directly with the tour events: the direction of travel decisions, Auflassentscheidungen, discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of geographical location and on travel plans.

are Naturally, this very conflict-pregnant "theme, but the question remains: Can you help here by structural changes to avoid conflicts?
I am of the opinion: Absolutely! The magic word is responsibility.



more responsibility

A typical breeder who sends in the current structures his pigeons in a RV is subject to many constraints: First, the Association and the RegV given by Meisterschaftsmodi without coating results and finally the RV by their travel plan that weekly flights will be held, what distances these flights must have, and will be sent in the direction the pigeons.

Second, the breeder can reach almost every major championship only if he participates every week at flights this RV. Therefore, a breeder is still not truly free in his decision to put his pigeons on a competition flight, or not, because he risks in most championships losing the fruits of the season. For this important reason, feel the farmers forced the stronger / betrayed / damaged when flights do not run optimally.

If there is a very tough flight, although for this weekend before, not the ideal weather was reported, the Auflassleiter Guilt. Blows a very strong west wind, which the breeders in the west of RegV leaves little chance, the great flight Stupid community debt. Takes a 200 km Mitwindflug bankruptcy only 4 minutes, are too many of these stupid short tours itinerary. is drawn out of the bankruptcy case of a 600km flight over two hours, or possibly stay in this particular animals, are too many long tours itinerary. If the needed 600 just on a hot weekend, the fixed date in the itinerary debt. Moreover, the association is of course always to be found among these culprits! There are enough reasons to dispute a season.
could
Two important paradigm shift here contribute significantly to defusing the conflict:

1) Every breeder shall send to each RV (every club) its environment, where it wants. If desired, simultaneously in several RVen on a weekend. For all championships across the RV level (club level) should the breeder all-won results of all air shows in the standings bring satisfying to defining minimum requirements for growers count and maximum geographical extent of the price list the area (see below).

2) There must be at the major championships at all levels results in the string modes, so that today's force, each week a Flights to participate must cease to exist, remains .

now has the individual breeder to choose whether he wants to suspend one or the other flight eventually, since it the weather on the weekend, some feel uncomfortable. Is he still, it's his decision and his responsibility. His attack against the Auflassleitung will have to be mild, because he is conscious of its responsibility. And if he stinks, then it sends containing even a few flights with another club.

not Like a breeder of the travel plan of their own RV, so he can create himself through the use of flights from other clubs "your" itinerary. He can make as a travel program for its Pigeons define that his taste is closest. Who wants to do without 600 sent on that same weekend, the 400 neighbor-RV who like to send more than 600 km, seeks just a few such flights together around him. Anyone with south-east is not satisfied, just for a flight operators, the Southwest offers.

The consequences of this paradigm shift can be imagined from the perspective of the current system out may be difficult, but one thing is immediately apparent: The far greater autonomy of each breeder for his personal travel itinerary would some of these central points of conflict defused be. Finally, through the direct competition among different RVen and clubs to each other to try all of these suppliers to be more attractive than those published in their neighborhood. Whether through internal Meisterschaftsmodi attractive, whether through a more pleasant environment, such as barbecue and beer bar.

Here some things are possible. Providers with good "benefits" are gaining participants, the worse lose participants and do exercise more, or they disappear from the scene.

By attractive internal championships of the respective organizers try to bind the individual breeders regularly in itself. Increasing the attractiveness of the offer would be overall result. And that could be beneficial for the development of the pigeon sport.



To the critics
critics may argue that in some parts of Germany today is hardly possible to provide a single zip on the legs, and that therefore there is hardly to the discussed options will come. Now available in all areas where farmers leave today already at the end of the season, the RV and move to a neighboring zip, obviously existed choices. If in some areas, but currently there is no choice, that does not preclude the growth of options would, if here would come the "free choice". Forced paralyzes and freedom arouses unexpected powers, this is nothing new. And when left still remain areas in which no choice possibilities, then so be it. Against the low density breeding in these areas can not approach directly accomplish something here and be a cure! This fact may not be a pretext for a stop.

Another objection might be that would eventually collapse under the "competitive pressure" single RVen altogether because they may also lose their last breeder. If it then so then this RV was not attractive enough. It makes no sustainable Sense of an unattractive RV by constraints keep alive artificially. Breeders who are dissatisfied then hear just completely on the pigeon racing, but not preserved these "unattractive" RV.

a "breakdown" of an RV for cost reasons, would also take place not when (as in "Institutional Strategy Part 1") proposes to hold the RVen not own Kabi more, but book only Kabi capacity with a comprehensive transportation organization.


Additional positive effects
addition to the reduction of disputes by strengthening the freedom of choice and the responsibility of each individual breeder and increase the attractiveness of the offer would offer these two paradigm shift additional positive effects, the other previously mentioned current problems of the deaf sport would defuse.

Above all, here is the enormous flexibility mentioned, which would thus become a breeder. It could for example expose even two weekends in order to take a vacation with the family and then make up two necessary results for the 400 RegV middle distance championship in one weekend at two events. A major obstacle especially for the younger breeders might be eliminated. Finally, roughly 1/3tel of the surveyed farmers problems with the scheduling constraints of today's travel system!

also animal welfare could likely be accommodated, if the individual farmers freely than hitherto on a bet the animals decides, depending on the weather or the form of animals, and the distances he would expect his pigeons, because he just knows best.

The "collective shipments" of the parent organization of transport, it would also become a geordeteren Auflassgeschehen on the weekends than it is today. For example, a transfer to Würzburg pigeons of clubs from Munster to take up casting. Some use it as a 150km flight, other than 300km flight. But ultimately, is behind the various price lists of individual providers, a common conveyance, which would be easy to coordinate with the other Sammelauflässen the weekend and is due to the increased pigeons number good training and selection criteria to the pigeons, although the price list of the individual operator after any Breeders only a few hundred animals / includes dozens.


restrictions
It is clear that must be defined in such a system of freedom but standards for the validity of price lists. It should particularly defined limits of the maximum geographic extent of a price list be because a very large price list area would otherwise be too sensitive to weather and the results would therefore very distorted (see the article "Location and wind" in the blog).
It should be noted here that the present situation, will be made in the approval of price lists only to minimum numbers and pigeon breeder's figures are too high approval limits very counterproductive. For by breeders in poor areas, the breeder of a large area to be forced into a price list, which is then justified by its own weather dependent sports can hardly be. One limitation of the "geographic expansion" of a price list from a sporting View, a higher priority than the minimum number or minimum pigeon breeder number .

In addition, it is so that both the RegVs, and the Association would retain the definition of single parent championships important driving force in the hand, despite all the freedoms of the breeder. Thus, for example, by championship conditions in which counted for various clubs on the same day only as different flights would if they had different Auflassorte, uncontrolled and specifically any "double" of a flight can be prevented by a Auflassort through the use of different providers. Could also be set for example by a mode for an all-around championship an incentive to continue to feed all possible distances.

Nevertheless more freedom of choice and personal responsibility for the breeders would be a key to conflict avoidance, scheduling flexibility and increase the attractiveness of the flights on offer, and thus an important step towards the preservation of the pigeon sport .
