After all, declaring a "district" isn't like choosing sides for North or South in 1861.
Bob,
You should tell that to the pilots who have fought hard and long for the honor of owning the Arcola VA, Mason-Dixon trophy. This battle is known as the
"Yous-guys vs. Y'all" contest within a contest - Makes a championship very secondary to Northern vs. Southern honor!!!!
Regards,
Exile-Eric.

You need data. Hopefully, the numbers of folks who are switching is being documented/tracked to help you all "inspect" your change.
For those who have exercised the option, it obviously is a benefit.
If it does not harm those who have NOT, there is no need for it to be an issue.

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.
