make it easier to forecast potential funds from membership for that year and make it simplier for SIXGA manager to collect the membership fees using this new system as it is only done at the start of the year which is when generally people has more funds at hand. It should get SIXGA more funds overall as players who wait till the national games will be treated as new members and so have to pay more. Of course, during that time, there was no concrete plan to implement the national team system, so it was not taken into account.
The national team director, I believe, already has a working plan for the national team system. The friendly discussion here is more for discussion purpose to help those not in the loop of SIXGA like most of us to better understand how some of the system work and thus reducing misconceptions and misunderstandings.
If we want all the national team candidate to be members, it might be a good idea to get all participants of the national games to be members. Someone calcualted before to me, it is actually cheaper to join as members. For those who dont join as members for the national games, we can simply allow them to participate but they wont be eligible for prizes, entry to national team selection and other benefits etc. This will also reduce the adminstrative hussle of getting them to register as members. The decision to be eligible for benefits will be made by the individual particpants themselves on the onset of the national games.
