[NSRCA-discussion] World Team Members

[Verne Koester]

Joe,

I guess I stand corrected. I'd like to see the whole section to make sure
we're viewing this in the right context. I'd be surprised for FAI to do
anything that increases the judging burden. I thought that was why they
reduced the number of maneuvers. Opening up the potential of an additional
contestant from each country would be huge on a number of levels. Judging,
funding, time constraints and so on make me wonder if this is the actual
intent of what was posted in the notice.

Verne, read the last notice put up by the AMA. Looks like the rules have
changed since then. The even quoted a particular paragraph.

Joe,

FAI rules limits each country to three team members. The standing World
Champion has the option of being a team member of his country or not. The
only time a country can have four participants is when one of them is the
standing World Champion and in that case, the standing World Champion's
placing will not count toward the Team Championship. That was the case in
Portugal where Qui Que participated as the standing World Champion which
facilitated three other participants, Andrew, Brett, and Jason. The Team
standing (3rd) was the result of Andrew, Brett, and Jason's final standings.
Qui Que's standings didn't count. I was going to cite the actual FAI
verbiage in my response but FAI is having trouble with their website and I
couldn't download the entire Sporting Code. I have the RC Aerobatics
section, but I believe the answer to your question is in the General
section. The World Championship is an FAI, not AMA, event. This year, AMA is
the host, but the rules come from FAI.

I was reading on the AMA site that it is possible for us to have a fourth
team member provided they are a Junior. Someone correct me if I am wrong. So
why don't we have a Junior team member? I can think of at least one who is
probably capable of flying P11.
