[NSRCA-discussion] Re: redistricting

[Keith (primary)]

Why not use a national ranking system like Australia??  Then it wouldn't
matter geographically what contests you attended.  If you want to climb the
rankings, you can travel to the contests that the "big boys" are flying in .
. . . otherwise you just fly in the contests that are convenient to you and
have fun.

Georgie,

You have the NATS to declare a National Champion.  District Championships
refer to just that... the district.  Most districts allow one or two out of
district contests that they can use towards their respective district
championship.  Perhaps the districts not doing this should allow
out of district points accumulation.  I though this was addressed at one of
the NSRCA meetings.  You can pick the district you want to declare your
championship status. Where is the problem?
