[NSRCA-discussion] D4/D5 Shootout

[Verne Koester]

I think a big part of the attendance problem is because of the rain forecast
for the old date, year in and year out. Seems it ALWAYS rained on that
weekend. A change of dates is a good thing that might boost the attendance
back up. The other factor affecting all the contests is the economy and
we're just going to have to ride that one out.

We can do the shootout on the 5 and 6th if D5 is willing to move their
contest otherwise it will be a D4 only contest.

Keep the Shootout on June 5 & 6 and adjust the other contests if possible.
Nothing we can do about the AMA site.

Normally the Columbus Pattern contest is the first weekend in June and the
D4/D5 Shootout is the second weekend in June.  Well, Dave Johnstone just
found out that the D4/D5 shootout has been moved to June 5 & 6th due to the
XFC.  That weekend conflicts with the Columbus contest and also the D5
contest.  Here are some possible solutions:

 

1.                   Cancel shootout

 

2.                   Keep that weekend and the Columbus contest and the D5
contest move to a different weekend

 

3.                   Move shootout to different weekend (According to AMA
this could be done in late May if we agree to 2.4 only)

 

4.                   Move shootout to Columbus over the Memorial Day weekend
(we would have to check with our club first).

 

5.                   Any other suggestions???

 

As far as I know, the date for the Columbus contest is flexible and so if
the date of the Hebron Contest (tentatively May 15th and 16th).  The sun is
in the box until 11 am or so in late May so it may be difficult to get 6
rounds in on Sat or Sun so having Monday as a backup maybe helpful (thus the
reason for the Memorial Day weekend).  AMA has RC events scheduled for late
may so we would have to share the site thus the reason for 2.4 only.

 

I need your feed back so the Columbus club can plan the event and Dave
Johnstone and D5 can finalize the contest schedule.

 

What say you???
