Tony,
I understand what you are saying, but where does it stop?  Do we 
declare that the only National Champ is the one that wins the top 
class?  Then we are back to the pattern masters contests of the olden 
days.  We already have qualifiers within Masters and FAI to get to the 
finals competition, all within the scope of the current Nats 
arrangement.

I support the way it is done now.  Let anyone who wants to compete at 
the Nats, compete.  In days of old, we had hundreds of contestants 
without qualifiers, and were able to successfully conduct the Nats.  
Just when we seem to getting renewed interest in pattern, I see 
qualifiers as a way to kill interest.  And District 3 may have 10 top 
pilots in a class, but another district may only have one or two; do we 
let each district send the same number?  Is that fair?

We should be doing what it takes to increase numbers both locally and 
at the Nats.  I believe local qualifiers is a bad idea.

Scott:
We are talking about a National Championship event.  Has nothing to do 
with not promoting the sport.  The guys that qualify for a particular 
NASCAR race does not seem to effect the interest of spectators or 
would-be racers…  That event is growing even  though the don’t let just 
anyone drive in them!

Hmmm, reduce the number at the NATS, I thought the whole idea was to 
promote the hobby and fellowship of pattern flying. We keep complaining 
about the lack of people at the local level and the retention of new 
people or pricing the average person out of the hobby.  So now limit 
the amount at the NATS why not just shoot ourselves in the foot some 
more. Some like myself work weekends cannot make allot of local events 
and I do travel up to 11hrs to my old home club in upstate NY each year 
for a contest, but enjoy the practice and going to the NATS to see old 
friends, and meet new people.
