Its not that we cant fly the finals, infact, once there, our top pilots could easily mix it with the best. But at a worlds, the competition in the pre-lims is so tight , that you really have to be on the top of your game.

  Very interesting point, Tom, and I agree.
   
  I've only entered the Nats in the FAI class once (way back in '95) and I had to decide whether to practice the F sequence at all. I decided my main goal was to make the finals, so I only practiced the P schedule. Alas, I did not fly my best and did not make the cut. (Not that my best would have made the cut!) If I had made the cut, I would have made a bee-line to the practice site and spent as much time as possible flying the F sequence. :-)
