[NSRCA-discussion] Proposed Masters Sequence for 2009/2010

[Ron Van Putte]

Some may remember that, several years ago, I proposed that NSRCA be  
allowed to take the maneuver schedules out of the rule book and  
change them when we wanted to, just like IMAC can.  The proposal was  
shot down by the AMA Executive Council.  It was never accepted to be  
voted on by the contest board.  I never got a satisfactory response  
on why they took that action.  I have my suspicions that IMAC pulled  
a fast one on AMA in getting their ability to change schedules when  
they wanted and didn't want NSRCA to have the same privilege.  It  
would be interesting to see if the EC has changed its mind.
