[NSRCA-discussion] Fw: AMA Pattern Nationals on-line reportingservice.

[Jerry Stebbins]

Interesting comments. 
Maybe NSRCA should add a couple reporters to their high paid staff, that can cover the events like a big news network does. :) Does anyone want to foot that bill?
Lighten up please, and remember this is a volunteer organization that is just that. 
The Officers asked for an individual(s) to step up and report for each class on what was happening, and include pictures and newsworthy thoughts for each day. I do not remember a one that accepted that task. At least I did not see any output.
 Eric did what he could, but is limited on what and when he gets the information, since he is reporting for AMA, therefore it has to be AMA authorized/checked/final info. And he is only one person (plus his lovely wife) covering the whole event at all sites. 
Many individuals sent info out on their laptops to whoever were on their lists.
The people that were there, in the most part, had tear sheets and results available in a timely manner. I did not hear any valid complaints, as a matter of fact the Site Directors were going around and handing out sheets to those that did not take the time to pick them up.
I understand the frustration you may have, and at least you cared enough to vent it. I do not know if you have been to the NATS, but if you do you will find your time pretty well occupied. I went to just call and Mechanic in FAI and relax, and wound up scribing one day, judging the last rounds of Masters before the Finals on another day, helping run the weight and size checks for all classes, taking as many pictures as I had time, and re-running some checks on Finals day. 
Anyhow--if no one steps up and is willing to spend the time, daily -day-by-day news is going to remain a catch-as catch process. 
Again, Eric did what he could, others did varying reports, and a great time was had by all that were there!

  I don't understand Nat. What's the message here. They skipped one whole day. We got scores from one day twice. It was never posted on the web site until the afternoon and it would have been nice if they had given the run down on all the entrants.
