[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[Matthew Frederick]

I don't see the necessity for such a proposal... All the people you are competing with in your region (hence breaking the NSRCA up into districts) are dealing with the same problem. It would be a net zero change in the results, just allowing you to feel better about yourself because you got better scores... to quote the Godfather... "After all, we are not communists..." While we're at it let's just change the name of the sport to Soccer...

Matt

Yeah, I know I'm gonna ruffle some feathers with the soccer remark... get over it...

  Anthony, 
  Please don't think of it as a "handicap".
  Think of it as a well...let's call it what it is.
  A "Correction Factor".
  I can see this process causing a lot of changes.
  How 'bout the monthly magazine's name becomming "The NSRCA Correction Factor"?!?
  This is only the tip of the iceberg (get it...iceberg...lol)

    John,
    You are a fricking genius. As a snow belt sufferer living less than 90 miles from Buffalo New York, I could use the "handicap" to adjust for our nearly 8 month long winter and subsequent RC inactivity.

      I have been impressed by the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship in the NSRCA since returning to pattern.
      I feel though that there has been an oversight in the rules that I think now could be corrected.
      I just got in from flying my Focus II for the first time since last October.
      It (I) was terrible!  The long winter layoffs here in the northern climes imposes a real hardship on pattern pilots living here.
      To be fair I would like to propose an adjustment to the maneuver k-factors based on the annual mean temperature and 
      extreme lows (I want to leave out highs) of where one lives.  
      For example my lowest k-factor would be 10 for landing and takeoff and then go up from there according to degree of difficulty of
      maneuver.  In some cases I can see 20+ easily.
      Folks like Derek, Ron Davies, Chris Fitzsimmons living in California would have highest k-factors of 1...who knows...maybe even fractional or minus.  These k-factors would be assigned by pilot and voted on only by members that have at least 24" of snow each year.
      What do you all think?
      I want to be fair.
