[NSRCA-discussion] NATS advanced question

[Dave Lockhart]

Del,

 

The NATs were traditionally a 6 round contest..extra rounds are a bonus.

 

At the NATs in 2005, all the FAI contestants were polled...and the vote was
pretty close to unamimous to go with a 4 round prelims, 2 round semis, and
then the 4 round finals.

 

Additional rounds/flying are being flown for Masters and FAI to more
accurately determine the winner.

 

Position A - the NATs is better if more flights are completed.

 

Position B - the NATs is better if the format is tailored to more accurately
pick the best pilot as the winner in each class.

 

If you want the NATs to be biased towards a social event with the most
flying in the least time, vote for Position A.  If you prioritize the best
pilot being selected as the National Champion, vote for Position B.

 

I think if you participate in the NATs and get involved (or aware) with the
details, I doubt you'd have the same conclusions.

 

Regards,

 

Dave

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. 

 

 

 

TIA 

 

Robert
