[NSRCA-discussion] Exper Class??

[Rick Wallace]

Not hugely in favor of extra awards in a local contest beyond recognizing the winner and the next two in a class. Extra 'awards' for lower places in local contests starts to feel like the kid soccer leagues where 'everyone's a winner so everyone gets a trophy'. 
Haven't earned a Masters class award in my 3 years in the class  - frustrating, but at least I know why it is - GOOD flyers above me in the class! ...that'll just make it that much sweeter when I gets in amongst 'em! 
 
Recognition of aging pilots by giving them awards? Again - not crazy about it for local contests (After all, it's pretty much the same group of guys at each contest!) -- but then I'm still a youngster at 55! 
 
Exiting...

A variation on this is to add additional awards by age category like at this year’s NATS i.e. highest placing JR, SR, etc. by class at local meets.

It  would be best   for the masters pilot who is at the bottom of the pack to   STAY in Masters.. Moving back will not help   that  pilot advance. 

 

Moving back to a lower class

.We have that situation covered for a pilot that has been out of flying and wants to get back into it but not for one who just wants to win in  a lower class.  Win but win with the BEST you can do.. 

IF they flew and advanced they should continue on that path

 

 

 

 Masters group-  CDs should add an extra award..  Fourth  and  Fifth place.

something to think about.

Boredom in a lower class --------- we will lose that pilot

Its nice we have a problem with TO MANY pilots in Masters.  A sign something is working here.

I would like to see the guys that are stuck at the bottom of their respective classes have an easier time going back a class. The main reason we have so many 

 


Masters flyers is we advanced guys thru the system before they were ready to compete due to a lack of competition. It's sad to see guys hit a brick wall and end up quiting the sport due to frustration. 

 I like the idea that I can fly Fai or Masters based on my own volition. In the midwest we always have large fields in Masters and it's pretty hard to beat the field.
