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

[george w. kennie]

Hey Em,
I think the option should be the ability to accumulate points in as many classes as the pilot chooses to fly in (any class, not just Masters and FAI) even if he chooses to fly in 3 different classes during the season. In the event that all 3 of those classes accumulate enough points to determine him the winner in all 3 classes, he must choose which ONE class he wishes to count and the 2nd place pilot in the other 2 classes becomes the winner.

Not too complicated, eh?

  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,
