Dist.6 Point System ( WAS - NSRCA Formal Announcement)

Wed Sep 24 15:07:35 AKDT 2003

If a district chooses to have a single CONTEST determine the Champ, then
I'd suggest membership be required prior to entry to THAT contest.

If a district chooses to use an accumulated POINT System, whether in or
out of District that adds up through the year, then I think we SHOULD
have an "issue" with awarding a District Championship to a person who
wasn't a member when going to those contests.

When I was the District VP, we had just gone to an accumulated point
system.  As far as I recall, we only required membership at the END OF
THE SEASON, and I'm not aware of anyone 'gaming' the system to unfair
advantage.  But this thread has pointed out (no pun intended) that some
clearer guidelines may exist.

FWIW - in District 6, I'd like to stay with the accumulating points
scheme, BUT, count points earned ONLY after NSRCA membership.  

Seems like a great incentive to ENCOURAGE membership!  Sign up early,
count more contests, have a better shot at being a District
Champ...promo opp, there, maybe.

How would the District provide that guidance to the AVP or VP to make a
decision?

Its not the money or anything personal, I was not involved in any
way....he was allowed to use contest points of an organization
accumulated over 2002 to count in a CHAMPIONSHIP contest of an
organization that he was not a member of....that's the issue....nothing
else.

Why not show the NSRCA card? Everyone shows their AMA card.....I show my
FCC card.
The slight difference here is that NSRCA membership is not required and
the other two are.
The points gained for the Championship have to be recorded anyway so
what's the big deal?
Maureen sends out the cards anyway, so there is no extra work for her.

I don't see the conflict here with all these threads. DOES IT MATTER
WHEN 
YOU PAY YOUR DUES? As long as the NSRCA gets the full amount. The money
goes 
in the same pot and does the same good in September as it does in
January. 
If everyone did this it would create problems,however, this is one
case.We 
don't prorate the dues. At least the guy paid and it doesn't matter what
the 
motive was for not paying. He evidently was good enough to win and that
is 
important. I think he should be welcomed into the organization. I also
think 
this discussion about him could run him off (if it hasn't already) to
never 
fly with us again. Has competition put blinders on us? We need to cool
it 
with this discussion.
I belong to three clubs and every club gives newcomers three(3) 
complimentary flying sessions before they have to decide to join.What is
the 
big difference?

There is a problem that happened to me that had to do with other
districts 
flying in D3 Championships. We were vieing for championship points to
win 
and these other guys took our thunder and placed above us.This reduced
the 
points we won. Is that wrong or what?It should be our Championship 
contest,right. Yet we welcome the other districts to our Champs.
