[NSRCA-discussion] Contest flight poll

[Anthony Romano]

Twenty is about the cutoff for two flight lines.
If you fly line A and then go fly line B immediately (Nats style) keeps the 
judges in the chair for too long. Especially since now after nearly three 
hours of judging they have to run to the bathroom, get water and food and 
then go fly. This all creates huge lags for the classes not flying. Thee 
time saved is not worth frying judges.
