For many years, we alternated between having the Master class in the 
morning and the F3A class in the afternoon and vice versa.  For the 
past two years, we had the F3A class in the morning and the Master 
class in the afternoon.  The problem with having the Master class in 
the morning is, if there are a lot of Master class pilots (greater than 
about 48), you can't finish the class until after noon, especially if 
there's a weather delay.  This pushes the afternoon session, which 
starts at 1:00 P.M., because the flightline people need to have a lunch 
break and the judges for the afternoon session are the ones who are 
just finishing up flying and they need time to put up their airplanes 
and get some lunch too.  After peaking at 54 Master class pilots one 
year, for the past couple of years, we've had a lot less than that and 
were able to fit them in, no matter when the class competed.  I hope 
this year is the same.
