[NSRCA-discussion] District 3 Advancement and points...

[Woodward, Jim]

Hi Emory,

 

It was great to see you at the contest this last weekend.  

 

What is the argument against pilots being able to accumulate points in
FAI and Masters?  I think this portion of the rule could discourage
people from trying FAI.  Or, does the rule intend to stop pilots from
flying both classes in a single contest (which doesn't happen too
often).  

 

Thanks,

Jim W.

Hey Guys,

 

I would like some input from D3 pilots about advancement and district
championship points. In the past, our district has not allowed pilots to
move up mid-season and still keep their points from the previous class.
To my knowledge, this has not been a written rule, but has just been the
way we have done it. I remember this coming up at least twice in the
past ten years or so.

 

Anyway, personally, this has not been a rule that I necessarily agreed
with. Since this doesn't seem to hapen often, I haven't thought about it
while I have been DVP. Recently, this issue has come up again. So, I
have spoken with the AVP's and next years DVP, and we have come up with
the following possible rule change. Please feel free to comment either
on or off the list, but please let me know how you feel.

 

RULE CHANGE...

A pilot accumulates points during the year for the class in which they
fly. If they decide to move up in class, they will keep their points in
the lower class, but will not begin accumulating points in the higher
class until after the district championship. Once you move up in class,
you cannot move back down. Masters and FAI pilots must choose either
class to accumulate points, but cannot choose both. A pilot, therefore,
may only be eligible for one district championship.

 

Thanks,

Emory Schroeter
