Default US Tasking? Are way too many TATs/MATs are being called vs. NOTENOUGH ASSIGNED TASKS (3% in 2013)

This should read:

"all 6 of the 15/Open MATS (2 classes, 3 days, 6 tasks total of the 15 for the year at Nationals) were 1 Turn MATS"

That is nearly 50% of the 15 MATS in 2013.

Here is a crude but accurate Google spreadsheet summarizing the 2013 "Task Mix" in the US (SSA sanctioned).



https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing



OVERALL 2013 US Tasks

Total # of Tasks 209

Turn Area Tasks 142 68%

Modified Assigned Tasks 60 29.00%

PURE Assigned Tasks 7 3% (YES, that says 3 PERCENT! 7 total AT's in the US in 2013.)

* Many of the MAT's were the infamous 1 turn MAT!



2013 US Nationals Tasks

(includes 15/18/Open/Standard/Sports/Club)

Total # of Tasks 48

Turn Area Tasks 28 58.33%

Modified Assigned Tasks 15 31.25%

PURE Assigned Tasks 5 10.42%

* All 3 of the 15/Open MATs were ONE TURN MATs

* 2 of the Sports/Club Nationals MAT's were NO TURN MATs.



Is 3% Assigned Tasks OVERALL and 10% Assigned Tasks in US Nationals the right tasking mix?



I for one would like to see FAR more pure Assigned Tasks in 2015 and beyond. What is everybody afraid of again?



Sincerely,



Sean



PS - 3% total assigned tasks in the USA in 2013? Really???????
