[NSRCA-discussion] Food for thought

[Claude Weimer]

I have been thinking, it might be time to bring back the Expert class.  The
reason I say this is because the Masters class is becoming rather large and
is going to grow in the coming years. The problems I see are the difficulty
judging at local contests.  At the St Louis contest it took an hour and a
half to judge Masters.  Because Masters is the largest class compared the
Advanced and Intermediate and only three FAI, it can be difficult to
organize Judges for Masters.  I'm not singling out the St Louis contest, the
Omaha contest was the same as most contests I have been to.  If Masters was
split in two classes it would increase the available people to judge.

 

Masters could be a little easier and Expert could be harder.  Expert could
even be the last FAI P schedule.  The reason some don't wish to move to FAI
is the time to learn two schedules.  It looks like the Masters class is
going to get larger and I think it would be good to break it split it up.
