[NSRCA-discussion] Flash Poll - Relocate the Nats in 2010?

Every Nats I went to that had all events in 2 weeks ended up screwing
Pattern out of time or space.  It never failed.  I am against it even
thought I liked to go see other events.  We cannot do a first rate job when
we compete for runway space and days to fly.  

I thought AMA wanted to reduce Nats costs.  Moving them around does not do
that if you look at history and read up you will find a consistent comment
about reducing Nats costs.  NPAC was fully funded by the pilots and it cost
more than a typical Nats so factor that in.

No one has addressed the equal exposure to judges issues for the current
format yet and Mike's proposal does not correct that situation for Masters.
I had one person suggest to me that if we continue to use the Matrix system
that we take the top 3 pilots from each "Group" to a 3 round finals.  At
least then we have equal judging exposure and more or less equal weather
exposure per round.

That is a possibility also.  AMA is thinking about returning the NATS to a 2
week all-events NATS like used to be done.  If all events are together, HQ
can put all costs into one effort.  If they are all split up, Each group
would have more costs to deal with due to the fact that HQ can't send a
group of people to every site.

	Why not allow the SIGS to do their own thing? IMAC and NSRCA do not
need to share a site. The LSF can find a site for the soaring NATS. Pylon
knows what venues work for them and so on. FF can do their own thing as
well. Why tie soaring and FF together and so on??

	Yes, it is just difficult to tell if it is actually feasible.  The
problem is that it requires a large site for Pattern/Pylon/IMAC and will
require another large site for Soaring/Outdoor FF.  It may be very difficult
to actually find places that can handle this group.
