[NSRCA-discussion] The NATS schedule has been published on the NSRCA website

[mike mueller]

 I will say this and I will not say anything more. A large amount of masters flyers asked for this change. I'm absolutely sure of this. That's why Rusty made the change. Changing it back now is going to upset a lot of people and look like a power play from the top of the food chain. The sentiment among a lot of the masters flyers is that they are treated as second class citizens at the nats. That's a statment I'll stand behind because thats exactly how I've heard it.Lets not forget that the masters class has the most fliers in it and it's important that their wishes are accommodated once in a while. I'm not the one saying it but I sure as heck can tell you that its a strong sentiment.
 Personally I'm just happy to get the week off and see my friends and maybe just maybe impress a few with some form of talent and preparation. If its changed back I promise I'm not going to say a word. I however can not vouch for my friends I can almost say for sure that they will not be so kind.
 This is not a huge deal. It's been done for many years successfully. Its a minor inconvenience.
 So for the sake of peace and understanding I'm asking you all to go with it and don't fight this too much this year.
I'm looking forward to some changes and I hope it leaves everyone happy. This may take some sacrifice from some but were all in this together and we need to get along. The nats needs to be a showcase of what pattern represents. Good people who share a common passion for a pretty obscure activity.
 Thanks, Mike Mueller

Frankly, I like the idea of Masters finishing earlier in the day for a change.  If we run long, they will have to wait.  And we are talking about 8 people for the unknown meeting, correct?  This isn't a team selection year so there is no need to expand the number of finalists.
