Mike, I think that is an excellent idea.

 I have an observation that I've made that disturbes me. I don't think that
we are getting enough of the top notch or team worthy flyers participating
on a local level. 

 I think that in the future the team trials need to be revamped so that a
flyer wanting to make the team would be required to fly in at least 3 to 5
local contests per year.

 Here's why I think this is important. We need the top names in our sport to
be part of the sport from a leadership standpoint. Imagine a QQ showing up
to fly against Andrew at a local contest. It would be much more exciting to
watch and it would therefore promote more interest. If we continue on the
path we are going interest in pattern will continue to slide.

 In the 70's when the team selection was known as the Masters you had to fly
your way into the contest by accumulating points on the local level. It was
exciting. Were totally missing the boat with our present system.

 So here's the deal. Support the real pattern flyers who make the effort to
support us and we will all be better off. Oh and for what it's worth I think
we would be better off all around if we didn't allow any stickers or blatant
advertising of any products in our sport. Let's get back to the flyers who
do it on there own without all the sponsorships.

 All this is just what I've seen in the last 6 years of flying after a 15
year absence for the hobby.  TIA for letting me vent and as my budddy Bobby
Satalino would say "Have a nice day"!        Mike Mueller
