[NSRCA-discussion] NATS advanced question

Fri Jul 27 20:15:25 AKDT 2007

Actually, the AMA is supposed to pay some costs incurred by judges?in a?Team Selection year. That was indeed true in 2003 and in previous years when the TS was a separate contest than a National tournament. However, starting?with 2004's TS tournament (and probably including this year's), the NSRCA decided to hold the TS concurrently with the F3A Nats. I was in favor of it for a bunch of reasons and voted for it. 

However we got bupkus from the AMA because it was concurrently run with the F3A Nats. Tried as I tried, I couldn't persuade the powers that be (emails to Dave Brown) to donate the money to the F3A Team to?augment some of?their expenses. Instead, AMA collected all such funds and deposited?them in the FAI kitty which supported all the teams. So be it!!

At least the F3A team got a bit more than they would have otherwise (I think)

Uh, how much do Nat's judges get paid? I thought it was a volunteer thing. If not, where's MY check from 2006? Oh yeah, I brought my own scribe too...? <LOL>

Those that make it to the finals should be required to pony up for the added cost of judging and help defray the cost for the awards. applies to all classes that make it to the finals in those classes that hold finals.

I would argue that the FAI pilots that are not in the top 20 also don't get a fair shake - they only fly 4 rounds compared to everyone else's 6.

and to add further insult to injury...? why is it that the other two classes have to pay the same price to compete at the nats but not be entitled to the same treatment?? That sure helps encourage the attitude that all members and pilots are treated as equals in all classes.. !!!

It would be a substantial change to the way the NATS is run...

?

Are you proposing reducing the number of rounds others (the ones who don't make the finals)?fly to make the time for the finals rounds?

Wanted to run this past you all to see what your thoughts were on this.? We know that Advanced is suppose to prepare you for Masters, what if the advanced at the NATS took a similar route to what the masters does; meaning that the top 8 guys in masters get to fly in?a 4 round?final.? What if advanced had a?3 round final, and the best score was carried over from the previous 4 rounds.??I was thinking that this would certainly make things a little more interesting?for the Adavnced folks.? Questions and comments are welcomed.?
