Email Guidelines

LA Tri Club Email Guidelines:

Before posting any Email to the LA Tri Club please read the below guidelines:

To ensure an efficient, fair, and informative system the Club has instituted the following rules for all LA Tri Club email. However, keep in mind that all email must be from current club members and that no outside solicitation or announcements from non-members will be accepted. Furthermore, acceptance of all email is subject to approval from the Club's email moderators and the LA Tri Club Advisory Board. Please be aware, emails may take anywhere from 24-48 hours to distribute depending on the day/time you send and when the moderators last checked the club queue.

Email Content - General

1. Please respect the time of the volunteer moderators who review all outbound emails and keep your workout announcement short and to the point.
2. Please do not include links to product or service providers that are competitive with the LA Tri Club, or the Club's Sponsors and Affiliates, as outlined on the Discounts page.

Email Content - Special Offers and Discounts

1. Offers for triathlon related goods and services will only be accepted from Club Sponsors and Affiliates, as outlined on the Discounts page. If you are unsure about your announcement, please submit it to moderator@latriclub.com and your email will be reviewed. If you know someone who is interested in sponsoring the LA Tri Club, please contact LA Tri Club Managing Director, Liz Hamm.

Email Content - Solicitations

1. Please submit all solicitations for training camps, clinics, workshops, and other for-pay services that are offered at a discount to LA Tri Club members, to LA Tri Club Head Coach, Ian Murray.
2. Solicitations on behalf of charitable organizations will be sent out to the club's subscriber option charity email list.
3. Please submit all "For Sale", "Help Wanted", "Situation Wanted", etc. items to the Club's "Classified" section only. Time sensitive race entries that are permitted by the Race Director to be transferred (i.e. Santa Barbara) may be solicited via the e-mail system with a limit of one announcement per member for each race entry.

Other

1. Please submit your emails with the understanding that it might take at least 24 hours (and sometimes, although not often, as much as 48) for its release to the club. Hence, plan accordingly and transmit all announcements as soon as possible. Please, do not contact the moderators directly, via phone or other means, to ask them to approve your email.

3. Please only submit emails that are intended to be seen by the membership at large. Emails addressed to individual members will be rejected.
4. Abuse of the email system or harassment of the moderators will result in losing your email privileges; remember, they are volunteers with jobs, families, and training schedules…just like you.
