I cannot recall having too many contestants ever being a problem at any
of the last dozen or so years...

	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.

some 700 flights in during the time available is no trivial task. Ask
any Nats Event Director 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
