Rules Proposals Final Vote

[Dean Pappas]

Hi John,
Y'know, it depends upon what you call unilateral. By and large, the rule book is the rule book, but ...
adventurous CDs who advertise well ahead are a necessary experimental laboratory. Here in D1, more than a decade ago CD Dean Kraus tried a then radical formula: let Novice class flyers fly any AMA-legal plane. It was advertised well in advance, and yielded mixed results. Any resemblance to a recently turned-down proposal  is purely intentional. As it turned out, it was great for participation, but the 110+ dB IMAC ships destroyed any hope of a competitive flight, if you were unfortunate enough to be on the next flightline. Perhaps the ill-fated proposal would have gone through with some size-displacement limit? Both Dean Kraus and Stanley Rauktis were holding contests with free-styles thrown in, during the same era. I am sure they had contemporaries, and now it is part of the landscape of the event.
Dean

Unilateral rules changes by CD's could be detrimental. Consider those
competing for distrct championships. Is the non-conforming contest to be
counted? How about when it is out of district. IF a CD does all the
paperwork but the sanction does not arrive before the contest, does the
contest count in district point races? For that matter, does an
intentionally unsanctioned contest count for points anywhere?
