The Ballard Question

Hey Joey, what's up. Obviously I wouldn't be competing. But my times that I could definitely get up there would be February 21-24, or April 3rd 4th and 5th I believe it is. Other than that. If someone has differing schedule I still might be able to work something out. Let me know yo.


Response:

Ballard-o...

No, you would not be a competitor!
In case you have forgotten, the official rules of the DRD state the following:

"any potential competitor who can actually lift-off , complete, & land a real pole vault...and/or anyone who can pick-up a men's shot-put is ineligible to compete: his application will be considered DOA & will be summarily denied..."

We do have a position available for "Official Event Referee" though...you may apply & the committee will consider your application.
However, I have to let you know that Darrell Wargo is in the running for that position [and by the way he is really campaigning hard], so you may just have to settle for a lesser, unpaid position...

As for the timing: we are thinking more of an autumn thing. If we can decide on a date prior to March-ish, that should give everyone enough time to ask off from work, get the hotel reservations & what-not...

Thank you for your continued interest in our great event,

J. DiCarlo
