[NSRCA-discussion] Local FAI a little different approach

[Bob Kane]

I have a couple of questions . . . . .

FAI pilots would choose which schedule (P07 or F07)
they would fly. Would they have to fly the same
schedule each round or could the switch for different
rounds?

And some observations . . . .

F07 has 19 manuevers and a total K Factor of 68, P07
has 23 manuevers and a total K-Factor of 72, so
normalizing them together is not possible. You could
use a percent of the possible total to compare the
scores (I think IMAC does this to select top score
from different classes). Judging would be a challenge
and scoring would have to be done manually unless
somebody whips up a spreadsheet to do this (and test
it) in a hurry.

I would leave this up to the discretion of the CD.
