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

[Derek Koopowitz]

Since the majority of the contest board are active pattern pilots, perhaps
we can petition the AMA EC (thru Steve Kaluf) to discuss these concerns so
that we can then put in a proposal to have the sequences removed.  I'm in
full agreement with what is being discussed with regard to the time frames -
it is not conducive to allowing the SIGs that modify/add rules/sequences to
do it within a time frame that benefits our members.
