Why the problem of getting 6 rounds in?..

[Ed Deaver]

Hey Del. The biggest culprit here is:
1)  The sun, in Alb 4:00 is getting dangerous and in most of the central Tx events, getting started prior to 9:30 is pretty bad and simply flying a sillohette.
2)  We have had some pretty big contests the past 2 years
3)  Pilots not being started and ready during the previous flight and landing procedure(doesn't seem like much but 2-3 minutes per pilot/ 15  pilots a flight line and 3-4 rounds equals1.5 hours of wasted time or more on Sat.)

Sadly however, I've seen it becoming excepted to only fly 5 rounds rather than pushing for 6.

  I have read a couple of posts on the list about that leave me puzzled why
  some are not getting 6 rounds in at contests they attend.

      1.) The attendance is so large to not allow everyone a chance to get
  their rounds in?
      2.) Is weather the culprit?
      3.) It is only a 1 day contest?
      4.) Only 1 flight line allowed?
      5.) Restrictive field not allowing flying to start early or fly into
  late afternoon?

      The only times I personally have seen contest decided on less than 6
  rounds was because of weather issues. Even with full rain day still often
  get in 4 rounds.
      TIA for your replies.
