Decline of pattern / Translation

[Del Rykert]

Steve.
 
    It can lead to formal protests for those AMA members that traveled to fly the 2nd day and find the contest was already held. I have never done that but I have seen it occur more than a few times.

  Sanction as a two day event.  Having a shorter contest than you
  sanctioned is not a problem.

  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.

  hours,
  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.
