Dear Regional Directors,

I would like to share some news from the recent Executive Council meeting:

1)    Update on the ESS scoring and registration system was provided to the meeting.

It was reported that the work is going according to the planned timeline.  It was also highlighted that new features and ongoing improvements are being implemented. The system is being well received by users in South America and is supporting a growing number of matches worldwide.

A centralized Dashboard has been completed where a member can see all their stats and info, such as: Personal Information, Matches Attended over lifetime, Attended Seminars, Current Registrations to matches they want to shoot and Open Registrations to events in their Region.

2)    Electronic Scoring Targets List was presented to the meeting and it will be published at the IPSC web page.

3)    The results of the investigation of the IPSC Disciplinary Committee on the Korean case were presented to the meeting. After the resignation of the current Regional Director, it was decided to recommend to the IPSC General Assembly to transfer an affiliation to the new organization.

4)    Kongsberg Target System together with IPSC Norway provide more than 20 electronic targets to the RWS. It will significantly reduce the stage recovery time and significantly reduce the manpower. IPSC plans to contribute to the expenses of inviting a KTS engineer during the Pre-Match and Match to monitor the smooth and high-quality functioning of the electronic targets.

Best regards,

Vitaly Kryuchin

Estimados Directores Regionales,

 

Me gustaría compartir algunas noticias de la reciente reunión del Consejo Ejecutivo:

 

1)    En la reunión se proporcionó información actualizada sobre el sistema de puntuación y registro de la ESS.

Se informó que el trabajo avanza de acuerdo con el cronograma previsto.  También se destacó que se están implementando nuevas funcionalidades y mejoras continuas. El sistema está siendo bien recibido por los usuarios de América del Sur y es compatible con un número creciente de competencias en todo el mundo.

Se ha completado un panel de control centralizado en el que los miembros pueden ver todas sus estadísticas e información, como: información personal, competencias asistidas lo largo de su vida, seminarios, inscripciones actuales a las competencias que desea disparar y registros abiertos a eventos en su Región.

 

2)    En la reunión se presentó la Lista Electrónica de Objetivos de Puntuación, que se publicará en la página web de IPSC.

 

3)    En la reunión se presentaron los resultados de la investigación del caso del Comité Disciplinario del IPSC sobre Corea. Tras la dimisión del actual Director Regional, se decidió recomendar a la Asamblea General del IPSC que transfiriera una afiliación a la nueva organización.

 

4)    Kongsberg Target System, junto con IPSC Norway, proporcionara más de 20 objetivos electrónicos al RWS. Reducirá significativamente el tiempo de recuperación de la etapa y reducirá significativamente la mano de obra. IPSC planea contribuir a los gastos de invitar a un ingeniero de KTS durante el Pre-Match y el Match para monitorear el funcionamiento fluido y de alta calidad de los objetivos electrónicos.
