  The BDS pattern challenge for the foreseeable future will remain a 1 day
  contest. However I'm looking at moving it's date from Monday, Labor Day to
  the Saturday before Labor day. That way if Saturday is rained out we can
  have the option of making Sunday the rain date. Problem is the current AMA
  sanction procedures really doesn't cover this scenario. There wouldn't be
  time to contact the AMA district contest coordinator to approve the change
  of the sanction date to the following day, providing there isn't already a
  sanction for a pattern contest on that day. I'll be investigating this to
  see what options are available.

  flying funds, etc.

  or more, and I just will not take the risk that a 1 day will be rained out,
  or otherwise cancelled or shortened. Since starting this activity in 1984, I
  have only seen 1 contest that was a 2 dayer completely rained out, and that
  was one in Canada this year.

  some great time sharing with other campers. You really get a chance to know
  your competition. This may be the BEST part of pattern competition.
