[NSRCA-discussion] Food for thought

[Matthew Frederick]

We had the same problem at our Dixie contest this year, but it was because we were overloaded in every class, mainly masters and intermediate (I seem to remember we had around 13 or 14 intermediates). What we ended up doing Sunday morning was flying back-to-back intermediate rounds, running on both flight lines. It was crazy. Then I had to judge Advanced right after that!!! I would say I lost hair over it... but I don't have much to lose.

  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.
