[NSRCA-discussion] FW: Harvest - F-Round or not?

[Woodward, Jim (US SSA)]

I talked to Ryan quite a bit last night.  I'm pretty sure he felt it was
a "real" round when he took off.  He flew a bad loop with 4-point and
left the door open.  A/C zeroed some maneuvers, caught or not, and it
was after he DNF'd the round and (allegedly) spoke to the score keeper
to get it removed (or something), than it became "Bermuda'ed" and was
ghosted from the results.  

 

Here it is in a nutshell - True, there were only two FAI pilots so you
can say it only affected 2 people, but when you saddle up for a round of
F09, or competition in any class, you better be prepared to take your
medicine.  Would this result have been posted if A/C would have finished
the round and beaten Ryan?

 

However mild this situation is perceived to be (only two people right?),
one of the most experienced top-competitors in our district (2006
Masters Champion) walks away feeling cheated-out.  If we are to maintain
healthy competition in all classes (including FAI) this type of stuff
can't happen again.  

 

Thanks,

Jim

We only flew 5 rounds and called it a contest on Saturday.  Wouldn't
have changed the standings to do more (damm it!).  FAI pilots (all two
of them) decided to make the F09  5th round practice only, as I
understand it.

	I think they did it "For Training Purposes Only". . .

	Guys,

	 

	Was an F09 round flown in Harvest by both competitors?  I did
not see it posted on the RCU pictures.  Was this round flown and not
shown?  

	 

	Thanks,

	Jim
