Class Structure - 400S

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Bobby, I musta missed something. Is someone actually proposing that another  
class be added? I am with you on this one. Another class not only isn't 
required  it is ill advised.
 
There's nothing wrong with the current Sportsman. It's an introductory  class 
and serves that function well.
The move from Sportsman to Intermediate is a little wide true, but another  
class will not solve this issue; rather a slight adjustment to the Int. can 
make  the transition a little easier. This is the class where learning of 
fundamentals  of Pattern are initiated.
The move to Advanced is a little larger but still not that bad. Again  slight 
adjustment here will help. Advanced should be a "fundamentals honing"  class.
The move from Advanced to Masters is pitifully simple.
The move from Masters to F3A is also pretty simple.0

EVERY  time we have a rules change/cycle pending, and we start discussing 
what to  do....SOMEBODY says "Add another Class".
It is obvious that I am the only  person who sees how incredibly dis-serving 
this would be...no one else has  spoken up!!!

The main reason that "extra classes" get suggested, is  because we have never 
had the chutzpa to get together in real consensus and  build the class 
transistions properly.  I remember when Verne had his  set.  I remember when we had 
a couple of pretty good schdules set up a  few cycles back...BOOM.  Blown up 
because WE - not anyone else - cannot  get our act together in dealing with the 
core issues.

If we decide we  need another entry class, then it should be crystal clear 
that there is  something WRONG with the Sportsman sequence, and that has 
happened because we  had to make Intermediate more difficult so there wouldn't be 
this chasm to  leap into Advanced, which we made more difficult because of the 
HUGE-er chasm  into Masters!!!!!

DOES NO ONE ELSE - REALLY - SEE this but ME  ?????
Ya'll gotta tell me, because if I am an "Army of One", I'll just go  away, 
and let ya'll figger out fer yerselves.

SOMEBODY tell  me.....straight up!!!
