The CBC Round Up
The 2011 Winter Meeting saw the first ever “CBC Round Up”; it is hoped to make this an annual event.
Basic rules are:
- Four person teams are made up of different levels of birding ability
- Teams are made up by the CBC meeting planner and the chief judge
- Each team may use only one vehicle
- A “shotgun” start means the team picks where they begin
- The start time is 1:30 PM
- The CBC Daily Field Check List will be used as a scorecard
- One point per species per birder on the team, four points if all team members make the sighting. All members of the team have to turn in their card to the chief judge at or before 5:00 PM
- Any ties will be broken by how early the card was turned in
- Speeding tickets or citations for entering a restricted area are grounds for disqualification
- No score cards accepted after 5:00 PM
Winners of the 2011 CBC Round Up were Ricky Davis, Rocky Mount, NC, Lucy Quintilliano, Charlotte, NC, Matthew King, Southern Pines, NC, and Linda Jones, Vass, NC, with 304 points. Their trophy.
