February 8, 201115 yr I think most of the confusion stems from the term "ballot" which most people interpret differently to the way it has been explained by Highland Lassie. Perhaps the term "invite" would be more easily understood? Nae chance - then I'd have 110 people expecting me to send them fancy gold sparkly cards before they filled in their entry form! Ballot it is and ballot it remains...if cutting up all those bits of paper and picking them out of a hat/box/mixing bowl doesn't qualify it as a ballot, then I don't know what does! BTW, that's just the SSDT I'm talking about - the Pre-65 is entirely separate and I've never had any involvement in it to tell you anything about their ballot process, other than what's already been published in their press release.
February 8, 201115 yr god your getting awfy crabit mhari.that fresh air is not agreeing with you.since you moved up north. Heilanders take even less crap than Fifers...I'm just getting back into the swing of it all!
February 8, 201115 yr Author Wow I only asked because i didnt know, must be a few people who think they are hard done. Thanks to the replies, keep up the good work, Wish i was going but the travel is a little restrictive. Pete
February 9, 201115 yr great reply Mairi, nice clear open and honest. To kill the issues though why not make the draw an event in itself? if it was done with numbered ball ala the fa cup it wouldnt mean so many bits of paper etc and then the conspiracy theorists would have to go back to Roswell and Dianagate.

Ahhhh and we ALL know they were a cover up. Only joking Highland Lassie Edited February 10, 201115 yr by Old trials fanatic
February 11, 201115 yr The year I make it a fix will be the happiest, cheeriest trial ever because every bad-mannered, ungrateful, grumpy trials rider will be banned. Mind you, maybe that would rule me out too. you could be right
February 11, 201115 yr If it aint borken why fix it.......got told this by very wise people on here.... ..... Think people should also stop criticizing the SSDT ballot and maybe try and give some positive inputs instead
