Brief (Re: NSRCA Formal Announcement)

[davel322 at comcast.net]

Is a District Champion the individual who is the best flyer in the District?

Is a District Champion the individual that attends the most contests (this 
could be viewed as "buying" the Championship)?

Is a District Champion the individual who provides the most manpower and 
support to pattern functions in the District?

How many NSRCA members are members solely to "buy" a District Championship?  

How many past members have dropped out of the NSRCA when (for whatever reason) 
they were not going to be in the race for a District Championship?

Is a District Championship program the correct vehicle for growing the NSRCA?  
Or rewarding existing members?

Obviously, opinions will vary, and the needs/mechanisms best suited / most 
effective are not going to be the same in all geographies (because of many 
factors, including the actual geography).

Regards,

Dave Lockhart
