[NSRCA-discussion] Exper Class??

Thu Feb 7 15:31:45 AKST 2008

You are correct   Pilots know who there competition is and its great when 
there is a change in that winning order.

 However with a large flying class it would be nice to reward the flying of 
the day.
Most do not agree with me no problem at all.

Looks like we are back to where we started.
. Competition at its best

It does not matter if we find that same pilot winning first most of the time?

I did here complaints on that?  Move up!    My feelings are if they do not 
feel they are ready
Fly learn and enjoy.

Lets just leave it that flying the best sequence  will win  first  second and 
third  

  We do hope the pilots do not move back to collect the awards in the lower 
class?
They would be bored and end of leaving pattern.

OK looks like everyone is happy. No extra awards 

Expert Class...   Do not think that is the answer for CD's  Contest or    
Pilots 
I would leave things as they are a bit longer.

I'm just glad to be of service!!  

The way I see it, by the time you make it to Masters / FAI level you are now 
enrolled in what I like to refer to as the "Big Boy Program".  You pretty much 
know where you shake out in the pecking order and have known for quite some 
time what your internal motivations are to shell out the bucks to play the game 
year after year. . . I don't think adding a few more trophies or awards is 
going to change much in either keeping people in or making them leave.

Maybe you guys should take a cue from school sports and either 1) Not keep 
score at all or 2) Give everyone a First Place ribbon for participating.  Either 
option would sure help out the judging dilemma!!

No thanks from this old masters flyer! 
I don't want a trophy for finishing 5'th, nor do I want a trophy for being 
old!

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.
