CVAR Rules Change Process

To modify a competition rule, any member may send a proposal via email to the Competition Committee Chairman at steve@onecoleman.com. The Competition Committee is chaired by the Authenticity Chairman, and it includes all Group Reps and any advisors appointed by the Board of Directors.

Rule change proposals are reviewed on the following timeline:

The deadline for all rule change proposals is June 1. Any proposal submitted after June 1 will be processed for consideration the following calendar year.

When submitting a rule change you should detail the benefits and negative counterpoints of the change and describe the impact to performance, safety, reliability, and availability. Any increase in performance will be scrutinized heavily. Proposals backed by popular member support will be favored. Providing factual supporting documentation upfront will save time and effort.

After June 1, the rule will be reviewed by the Competition Committee, and if a rule makes it past the competition committee, then the Committee Chair will send the rule out to all Members sometime between the beginning of October and the end of November, to allow for a membership comment period before the Annual Meeting.

The comment period will begin when the proposal is presented to the membership and be open for 30 days.  During that time any member can make comments for consideration by the Competition Committee and submit those comments to the Committee Chair.  After the 30 days, no additional comments will be accepted, and the Competition Committee will review the comments and submit the proposal to the Board with their recommendation.  The final determination on the Rule Change will be decided by the Board at the Open Annual Meeting.
