2003 D2 Championship (BARKS) contest - a legal / sanctioned contest?

[John Ferrell]

AFIK:
The sanction was not received at the appropriate desk at AMA until the day before the contest. I believe it was returned unprocessed. I announced this at the pilots meeting that we were unsure of the sanction status but that we believed it to not be sanctioned. The consensus was at that time that it was not the fault of the organizers and that we would proceed. If it was a sanctioned contest in the records, the results are clear. If it was sanctioned as a matter of record, the treatment is up to the decision makers. 

Protest procedures are an area of the rules that need to be "refreshed". As a frequent scorekeeper, I make the complete results at the end of a contest known to all and expect any challenges to be made within a few minutes. I try to keep the tear strips as orderly as possible and always make them available on request. 

BTW, the trophy makers at AMA are on the ball. They made the trophies in plenty of time! I guess the paper work is harder than the trophies to handle. 

This is probably an appropriate place to note that we failed to contain costs on this event by getting carried away with our spending. Piedmont Models declined to allow the club to take the hit. I can assure you I enjoyed my steak....

  Hi - 

  I've been keeping the championship standings for D1 this season, and I've received a report that the BARKS contest, Oct 19. 2003 was not a properly sanctioned contest - and that the results are therefore not to be considered in determining an NSRCA District champion. . 



  I'd love to hear from a D2 (or AMA) official whether or not the BARKS contest was a legal, AMA-sanctioned contest - and therefore whether to count the results in our District standings. 



  On or off list will be fine. 



  Thanks  in advance --
