[NSRCA-discussion] Exper Class??

Tue Feb 5 15:14:04 AKST 2008

Hi Rick 
 No not like soccer awards  not at all..   You did  say the Master Pilots  
above you were GOOD>> WE do have a lot of  great pilots in Masters.

  There are only micro points at times between the  3rd  4th and 5th place
Its only two awards..  No extra work for judges or contest.

..  CDs do have a choice  give extra awards..  It  might help if they put 
that  in contest flyers 
Pilots could practice just a bit more!

  Many  pilots think like you Rick awards  that are not earned  and I follow 
that to a point.
That is not the case here for Masters .   I wonder if scores would improve 
for pilots in Masters. 
Masters only   4th and 5th place awards

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...

something to think about.” 
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.
