For the 41%  voting to Not have the progression of AMA classes be

what changes would you like to see in those classes?
 
Feel free to respond on or off list.

I'll bet that many of the people who voted NO on having the progression
of AMA classes designed to prepare for F3A were saying, "I don't think
the construction of the progression of maneuver schedules should be
dictated by a maneuver schedule we have no control over." I, for one,
feel that way. I feel that the Master class, the terminus of the AMA
maneuver schedule sequence, should reflect what members of NSRCA want.
We can't affect what FAI does to the F3A maneuver schedule. If we tailor
the Master class maneuver schedule to what is in the F3A maneuver
schedule, we will be tinkering with it continuously and changes to the
Master class maneuver will often dictate changes to the maneuver
schedules in the other classes. I believe we should decide what we want
to do and do it.

An "unofficial" poll of the NSRCA mail list members (and anyone else who
may read RCU's Pattern Forum) was approved by Tony Stillman, created and
posted by Ed Hartley on the NSRCA website.  Ed and I did the tabulations
independently and arrived at the information you see below.
 
This information is the tabulation of all of your responses to this
question:
    "Should the progression of classes within AMA precision aerobatics
be designed to prepare a person for the FAI class?"

Five votes were disallowed, as they either did not contain a name,
competition class, or AMA number.  All three elements were required for
a vote to be tallied.  There were three votes where a person selected
two classes for their competition.  In those situations, I used the
lower class, so that the vote could be consistently counted across all
classes represented in those choices (there was one each in
Intermediate, Advanced, and Masters).
    The source information has been saved by Ed (and I) for archival
needs, should any arise.
 
It is my hope, since I was the original "questioner", that this
information may serve to foster discussion and gain insights about our
preferences and serve also to springboard future similar polls and
member involvement activity in this Rule Change year.
    We wish the President-elect to consider this information, and
discuss with the Board possible future activities.
 
Thanks to all of you for your participation and insight!!!
