[SPAM] Re: Switching NSRCA districts - your thoughts?

Eric:
I think it's a good effort.  We try to coordinate D4 and D5 as much as possible - I don't know if anyone is going to switch their district, but I'm sure that there are geographical considerations around the country based upon contest schedules.
This is one of those areas, especially considering the dwindling numbers at local contests, that should be as "user friendly" as possible.

  Subject: Switching NSRCA districts - your thoughts?


  The NSRCA board voted in a change to allow pilots who live on district borders or who compete more in the "other" district, to register in that district for district championship purposes. This year you can do it up to the end of July.

  I tried the option, just for grins, and immediately got a bit of ribbing from my current district D-1 and my foster home district D-2.

  In my case, I know that I am not going to terrify Don Szczur (flying FAI) when he finds out that I am now a rival as opposed to a visitor in VA.

  It did get me to ponder how well the ability to change districts is going to work. There are districts who would lose pilots and not gain any and vice versa.

  At a higher level, does it really matter if you live or are registered in a district. Should it be more important that you show up, pay your entry fee and fly???

  Not want to incite word-war, but I really am interested in how it will pan out and what people think about it? We are giving it a try but should also inspect the results for next year.

  Regards,

  Eric.
