This falls into the WTF?!?!?! category.
We received an email from Onofrio today, as did a gazillion other people, that contained revisions to the Sunflower Cluster (Wichita/Valley Center) premium list.
Honestly, I rarely look at these things but for some reason I read it tonight, and guess what I found?
1. The complete addition of The AKC National Owner-Handler Series for Friday, Saturday, & Monday. I am sure it will be a pleasure to watch the 'ineligible' professional handlers compete and win in this as always. I am tired of being the snitch to AKC on these matters, so I hope someone else takes the lead on this.
BUT...
THE BIG and WTF THING IS...
RESERVED GROOMING...
The original published premium list that came out around February 9th or 10th had the following requirement:
"RESERVATIONS OPEN FEBRUARY 10, 2013 ANY RESERVATIONS RECEIVED BEFORE THIS DATE WILL BE RETURNED."
So they back-dated the acceptance date by 10 days. My question is who did the receive reservations from that they did not want to send back? And who would have known anyway?
PLUS...
THE PRICES HAVE CHANGED !!!!!
1. A 10 x 15 has gone up $5.00 to $40
2. A 10 x 20 has gone down $5.00 to $55
3. A 10 x 30 has gone down $5.00 to $90
4. A 15 x 20 has gone down $10.00 to $90
5. A 15 X 30 has gone up $10.00 to $125
I don't see how they can do this. It's absolutely crazy. On February 9, they tell us to wait until February 20 before a reservation will be accepted. On February 26, they tell us we can send them in earlier? AND they can charge different rates. What are they going to do when they receive all of these different rates. You know I'm not the only one that doesn't usually read these updates. Are they going to have the Cluster Treasurer refund checks to everyone who has now overpaid? Are they not going to assign grooming to people who have already sent in their reservations, but whose check is now not enough to cover their request?
These changes had to go through someone in the Sunflower Cluster, someone at Onofrio, and probably someone at AKC. Am I the only one that read this? This is much more than a typo. Where has happened to quality control, or at very least, a proof-reader?
I am sending an email to the Cluster Coordinator, as well as Onofrio, and AKC.
