PSA Competitions - Photo Travel 2017-2018

 

Playoff Round:

Our club took fifth place in the “playoff” against the 5 other competing clubs.  We were one point off the 2nd and 3rd Place clubs and tied with the 4th Place club.  Ties are resolved based on the number of high-scoring images.  We should be very pleased that we made the “playoff” round for the second time over three years!

This was a team effort throughout the year from start to finish.  During the year, 25 club members submitted 111 images for consideration for the three competitions held in November, February and May.  From these excellent images, the committee had a difficult choice in selecting 6 images for each Competition Round, for a total of 18 images.

At the end of Round 3, our club was in 2nd Place in Group A.  The top 3 clubs from Groups A and B then were invited to participate in a divisional championship “playoff” to determine the Travel Division Inter-club Champion for 2018.    The committee then selected 8 images to enter into the “playoff”. 

Thanks to the 25 club members who participated: Connie Albuquerque, Jody Brickman, Ed Daniels, Paul Davis, Steve Director, Judith Gardner,  Ross Gorman, Joe Hintz, Ron Jolicoeur, Rick Knight, Mark McGrath, John Markus, Steve Morrison, Debbie Owen, Diane Robertson, Jon Rolf, Rosemary Sampson, Anne Seminara, Mary Shalgian, Bob Slott, Sue Slott, Eric Spencer, Jim Walczak, John Ward, and Stanlee Wetzel.  

 

Special thanks to the committee members who painstakingly and thoughtfully reviewed and discussed each image submitted by the members: David Constance, Judith Gardner, Ron Jolicoeur, Suz Karchmer, and Debbie Owen.
