Dear ISR,


{"We did convince them on the ground of best Sportsman spirit, Principles of Natural Justice and thus 2 Special Resolutions were passed finally with the Consent of the Judges. The delivery of the word "Respect" to all the contestants was ensured to one and all.

In between the period the notifications issued either by me or Libero Ji shall stand automatically to be as Cancelled and superceded by the resolutions cited above".}.....

Pls check the dates when we requested the Honble RDJ's to give consent to the two special resolutions...Libero's note u posted is of 13th May'2017. In any case the Passing of Resolutions has itself ensured benefits to so many contestants.

Regards

SK

@ S KUMAR

I went through your post dated 07 08 2017 throughly and and seek clarification on the following:

1. When the clarification was provided by Libero on 13 05 17 the same was not refuted by Mgt.committee or by Judges pamel

2. What will happen if two extra days are included as every participant is supposed to go through the rules along with amendments/ clarifications and no injustice is done to any one.

3.Though I am not a regular participant in PTR my observation is that there was no cap on daily investment. The change was introduced only this year.

4. The decision not to include extra days was communicated by you and I brought to your notice the clarification provided, the matter should have been placed before the judges .

If I were in your position I would have included extra days instead of letting down my own committee member.

With the above observations I would like to close this matter and there will be no further correspondence from my side.

Dear ISR and the Contestants to the Bangalore "THE PTR" Contests,


Greetings to you all from TEAM "THE PTR" Contests !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the outset let me thank you all for your support to the Bangalore edition of "THE PTR" Contest. Its been great pleasure for all of us at the TEAM PTR to be part of this great success.

ISR, If you remember rightly, there were so many circumstances prevailing in the contest such as , Natural Calamities like rain, Geographical and other issues at this venue and therefore there were so many days we did not see the contest running for many weeks in tandem.

It is at this juncture, we at Team PTR, also felt disappointment alongwith you people as contestants. Nevertheless, we had immense confidence that everything will be ok and as desired by all of us, everything was sorted out but it took some time and in the process we lost few racing days.


It is here that we also felt the urgent need to address few issues concerning the welfare of the contestants and very rightly we have remembered the Theme of this "THE PTR" Contest which is "RECOGNIZE-REWARD-RESPECT" and two sects of contestants emerged out of this thought process which are :-

A) Contestants who are absolutely regular irrespective of the circumstances prevailing and stood by the strict rules of the contests.

B) Contestants who missed the contests because of the above reasons and were not able to fulfill the Minimum 10 day norm for uncapping the investment structure in the contests and the minimum attendance required to be fulfilled by all the contestants.

We had taken up and convened an emergency meeting with our Hon'ble JUDGES (RDJ's) to the contests which was presided by Dharmesh Ji, Dustin Ji, Shri Libero, Shri Rakesh Menon, Shri @ The Doc and Myself for getting the waivers to the above two cited regulations in the contests.

One point which was raised by RDJ's was "ARE WE NOT DOING INJUSTICE TO THE CONTESTANTS WHO ARE REGULAR IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND WHAT ANSWERS WE AS JUDGES SHOULD GIVE TO THEM IF THEY RAISE OBJECTIONS"

The Hon'ble Judges were right and bang-on in their observations.

We did convince them on the ground of best Sportsman spirit, Principles of Natural Justice and thus 2 Special Resolutions were passed finally with the Consent of the Judges. The delivery of the word "Respect" to all the contestants was ensured to one and all. In between the period the notifications issued either by me or Libero Ji shall stand automatically to be as Cancelled and superceded by the resolutions cited above.

The second important element in the PTR contest traditionally is that the Extra Days are not considered at all. This is the strong precedent prevailing in the contest right from its birth few years ago.

Thirdly, these extra days even if provided now will do gross injustice to the contestants who have 100 % attendance record and they cannot be subjected to these types of measures as the Contest this time around is more competitive, a high quality battle of intelligence, painstaking efforts of the leaders in the contest as on the last contest day.

with the two relaxations given to most of the contestants is itself a sacrifice done by the regular players in the contest.

Therefore, the EXTRA DAYS proposed on 17th and 18th of this month SHALL NOT BE part of this contest. We are also not keen to break the precedent set in the contest.

This should put to rest all queries and doubts one may have concerning the above subject.

The Contest Last two days shall be 10th the penultimate day and 11th shall be the concluding day.

ISR, I trust you will agree with us and cooperate accordingly.


Regards,

TEAM"THE PTR" Contest Bangalore Summer 2017

@ S KUMAR & PTR TEAM

Regarding the extra days inclusion in the contest the following clarification was given by LIBERO in response to my querry:

ISR said ... On : 5/13/2017 12:25:35 AM

@ PTR Team

1. The year should be from 1-5-2017 to 30-04-2018 as Mumbai season runs in April also.

2.What about special/ extra race days if any?

3. The cut of time for posting once selections may be the starting time of the first race.

libero said ... On : 5/13/2017 10:43:58 AM
Dear all

Welcome to the contest, as suggested by some of the participants, the contest will run till the end of Mumbai season, and extra days & special race days are also included as and when they happens

@ISR ji
