| New Natstats Director Appointed NHPA President Stuart Sipma is pleased to announce the appointment Rob Hagman to the position of NHPA Natstats Director and World Tournament Stats Room Coordinator. A little bit about Rob Hagman: Rob is 38 years old, and has been involved with horseshoes since he was a junior. He and his lovely wife Ann have two children and live in Anoka, MN. Rob is currently the MN Regional Director. He has served the MGSHPA as state statistician, and also as a tournament director for several years. Rob has mastered the HSMaster and HSScorekeeper programs designed by Kurt Whaley, and has been working closely with Kurt to perfect the system. Rob has extensive computer training and experience, specializing in networking and troubleshooting issues. He has been deeply involved with developing and applying the electronic scoring system you will see on display at this year's world tournament in Cedar Rapids. Rob is very excited to take on this challenge and make improvements to the system. He will be very instrumental in the future development of the way the NHPA handles its Information Technology business. It is very important that all charters advise their tournament directors and statisticians to send all tournament results and correspondences to the newly established natstats reporting address. Put this in your address books natstats@horseshoepitching.com You may now send all the results you've been holding to this address. Also, be advised that it may take a week or two before the Natstats files are all up to date. In a week or so, check and see if your tournament results have been recorded by going to the "reported events" file on the nhpa website under natstats. For those who send results by US Mail, Rob's address is 652 Cross Street Anoka, MN 55303 Phone 612-600-3777 |
