[NSRCA-discussion] stirring the pot..;)

[Dave Burton]

I hope flying the F schedule at local contest doesn't spread to D2. I have
zero interest in learning two FAI schedules and if it happens here I'll join
the herds of people flying Masters. Isn't it in the rules to fly F only in
the Nationals or Championship contest?

I have taken note that since we started flying the F pattern regularly on
Sunday at local contests (couple years now), we have been scoring it in such
a way that it is simply treated as a 6 round contest in which any
combination of the F and P sequences may be the drop rounds.  I think the
concensus originaly being that not everyone is comfortable flying the F,
allowing those that only practice the P to be able to drop both F rounds
(usually 2 F rounds on Sunday).

 

Hypothetically, it could be run and tabulated in such a way that in a
typical 6 round contest of 4 P's and 2 F's, you would drop one P and one F.
More of a Prelims and Finals style.

 

It's not any serious concern to me, but I am curious, what is the concensus
among FAI pilots now?  Just keep it the same, or consider changing?
