Fellow MCT Participants and TOC Members,
as the President of the TOC for 2008, I wanted to clarify the situation around
Parminder withdrawing from the TOC earlier this year. As most of you are aware,
Parminder served as the Treasurer for the 2007 edition of the MCT and by all
accounts dispatched his duties effectively and efficiently. However, for
reasons other than Parminder's performance, we made a change in direction for
the 2008 edition. As you all know, we requested Rajan Gautam to take the duties
of Treasurer this year. We felt that Rajan's guidance and advice would be very
helpful in a year where the MCT is trying to get registered as a non-profit
organization. In addition, there were perhaps some personality clashes at key
points during the 2007 tournament that, in hindsight, could and should have been
avoided.
The TOC, and I personally, value Parminder's enthusiasm, passion and
organizational abilities. None of these were ever in doubt. However, the
reasons for the change were not effectively communicated to Parminder. He felt,
rightfully so, that the TOC had been less than professional in handling this
issue. At this point he chose to remove himself from the organization.
We often hear that the workings of the TOC and the MCT itself have not always
been clear to all the participants. In the past several members have asked for
greater visibility into key decisions. This year, we have made every effort to
try and provide updates as often is feasible and necessary. You have heard of
several details of the Nationwide sponsorship agreement and will hear more on
additional topics such as Awards, Recognition and All Star. We felt that the
sudden departure of a key member of the TOC is just as important a topic and
wanted to share a summary of events with all participants.
Obviously, we continue to strive to make this tournament a better experience for
all participants. This includes getting the tournament registered as a
non-profit entity that can and should outlive our individual involvement with
the tournament.
Also, we will continue to do our best to make the running of this tournament
more inclusive, participatory and democratic to the extent possible. As part of
our ongoing efforts we will continue to solicit volunteers from all participants
regardless of location or how long their team has participated in the tournament
or whether they made the playoffs or not.
As we get ready to enter the second week of the Div 1 and Div 2 playoffs, we
solicit your feedback on the progress of the tournament so far and further ideas
for improvement.
Regards,
Vikas Vashisht
