[NSRCA-discussion] WRAP UP - Advancement

[ronlock at comcast.net]

Years ago when the Sportsman sequence was rather short, some CD's were doing the sequence twice. A rule was written to codify the practice, and provide suggested procedures on exit/entry between the sequences, and handle scoring of one take off & landing, but two sequences. It's still in the book, para 14.8. Given current length of Sportsman sequence, it's rarely used.

CD's used to have the ability to have Sportsman fly twice which isn't in the rule book. They now can have an Expert class which isn't in the rule book. Can CD's suspend the advancement rule? Just thinking out loud. 

Steve Interesting question. The AMA gives CDs broad powers to waive rules as they see fit, but those usually pertain to the safe operation of a contest. The caveat is that the CD must publish any variations within 30 days of the event and it is best to list them in the sanction application. Changes can be made on the spot due to weather, etc., but it would be hard to see how advancement fits into that. So I suspect taht it would be difficult for a CD to do waht you suggest. What a CD could do I suppose is to allow a certain individual to fly a lower class, but again, that might be a stretch.
