[NSRCA-discussion] Sequences for 2011 - approved

[Patterndude]

It seems to me the recertification link to new sequences is there simply to help us all keep track of when we need to get the refresher. The link to FAI seems to make a lot of sense since it values our national team to have judges at local contests up to date on all rule changes. 
  The easiest thing is to just make the change and give everyone one more year on their current certification. However by this time next year u will have flown the new sequence about 400 times and would be open to considering a new sequence if one were submitted.   Now that we have actual guidelines we might have created a nice incubator environment. Looking forward to reading them

We could move in that direction with the next sequences that get approved for Sportsman, Intermediate and Advanced, but, as you mentioned, that would mean we only get to keep those sequences for 3 years.  I'm not in favor of changing these again in 2012 - I think that is too soon.

Assuming that we can’t really impact the FAI 2 year cycle, it would mean either keeping these new AMA schedules for 3 years, or introducing new schedules again in 2012.
