[NSRCA-discussion] Moving Along, Next Question on Masters

[Bob Richards]

Tim,
   
  My personal opinion, FWIW, is that Masters should be easier than FAI, but not by much. Part of that is that Masters has only one schedule, where FAI has P and F schedules. 
   
  If someone hangs around long enough in Masters to get bored, they can move up.
   
  Speaking of boredom, if that is a real concern, we could always implement unknown sequences at each contest. (grinning and ducking).
   
  I also like the idea of the graduated advancement between classes, ie: Basic = 50pts, intermediate = 100pts, advanced = 150pts, etc.

If we “dumb down” Masters to make the jump from Advance to Masters flow better on the skills set required then we might very well bore those that have been in masters for awhile. If we don’t do we relegate those moving up to Masters several years of practice to get competitive? Maybe this is the answer, make the jump so hard it takes awhile to learn the skill set, or it just could be a dropping out point fliers won’t bother to try to go beyond. Yeah I know, “If it was easy even a cavemen could do it”  J
