[NSRCA-discussion] Rule 8.1.1

[Dave Burton]

I'm against any kind of Nats qualifications other than AMA member. You pays
your money early enough and you gets to fly!
What better way to determine a National Champion?

  I would like to have a points program where you earn points at each event.
If you have enough points, you can qualify for the NATS.  I don't like the
idea of a single qualifier.  A bad weekend can keep a good pilot from
earning his/her way.

  This will cause some complaints...



  I would support having district qualifiers to reduce the number of
contestants at the NATS.



  One contest appx 15 to 30 days before the NATS, appx centered within the
district (go by either the AMA districts or the NSRCA districts, pick one)

  Go through the full weigh-in, measurements and noise testing. (which tend
to get skipped at local contests)

  Top 10 from each district in each class go to the NATS.



  They have Scale Qualifiers...

    IMAC does not offer the Basic class in the Nats.  It appears that the
situation is similar.  Looks like you can ask for your money back from at
least two SIG.

      Matt - at least you make a valid point about time and making room for
other events etc. But, WHO decided Sportsman Class was less important? I pay
my dues just like everybody else! It is my dues, in part, that helps put the
NATS on to begin with. Some say 'intent' is an issue. OK, I intend not
participate in the NATS. I should get my 'not intended' portion of my dues
back from AMA.
      Some things are just wrong. Just because 'it is written' or 'the
intention was'  does not make exclusion of the Sportsman class at NATS the
right.
      And, that's all I got to say about that.
      Peace.

near you.



      I would love to see our time increased by 2 days and Sportsman Class
allowed....but that ain't gonna happen at an AMA Nats. AMA puts on a great
deal of other events, many of which require the same site. The allotted time
is divided as appropriate



      NSRCA has put on it's own NATS (in lieu of and much to the chagrin of
AMA) a bunch of year ago now. To do it again requires a whole lot of
motivation, volunteers and money. It's doable but it's no trivial matter
either
