Nats Judging Rebate-keep their best SCORE!

[Verne Koester]

A simple cross-check of who did and didn't pick up their contestant package 
at the farmhouse should indicate the no-shows. Actually, I think it was 
known info anyway and didn't get forwarded to the line judges for some 
reason.

In past NATS I have attended a role call occurred during Sunday's mandatory
pilots meeting.  There was no role call this year.  Seems this would enable
a confirmation of available judges and contestants before commencement of
Monday's competition.

I do know of one instance where a registered pilot was
a no-show for reasons beyond their control, but their
name was left on the flying and judging rosters. His
absence was known Monday morning, but he was still
listed and expected to judge FAI Wednesday afternoon.

I think a check-in at the mandatory pilots meeting
Sunday evening would be in order, no-shows should be
deleted from the flight order and judging re-assigned.
The only exception would be advanced notice to the CD
if someone can't make it to Sunday's meeting.
