National Champion

[Bob Pastorello]

My oversight, since I was talking specifically about Masters.  OF COURSE THERE IS A NATIONAL CHAMPION in every class flown at the National Event.  No other inference intended.
    The guys that win their classes ARE the National Champions, because that's how the system is setup.
    My apologies, if others perceived a slight for the other classes that were not part of the thread.

  I disagree with your statement that the Nats Masters winner is THE national champion. Let me suggest that we currently generate four national champions at the Nats, one for each class . The achievement for the Intermediate Champion is no less than the achievement for Advanced, Masters, or F3A winners. Sure the skill levels differ - but the assumption is that a person flying the correct class (basis our advancement system) must excel within his/her peer group to win. A National Champion is just that - regardless of class. It might be fun to present a "best of the best" award for the highest percentage score of  the  4 Nats Champs, I bet the class distribution would be pretty even over time.
