[NSRCA-discussion] Inspection & Weighing

[John Gayer]

I can only quote the original rule under discussion:

" 8.2.5: There is no mandatory advancement into FAI from the Masters 
class. Contestants may enter their current AMA class or the FAI class at 
any contest but not both."

Clearly the AMA is of two minds as to whether F3A is an AMA class or not.
