[NSRCA-discussion] Junior Members for World Team

[Derek Koopowitz]

The Junior category for F3A is only effective starting in 2012.  A decision
to include junior's was made by the CIAM F3A Sub-Committee chair in November
last year and got the approval of the CIAM committee in early December at
the CIAM meeting (which I did not attend).  The first I heard about this was
the middle of January when we were getting ready to publish the first
bulletin for the WCs.  This WC will not offer a "Junior" World Champion -
there will only be a "highest placing Junior" if there are more than 3
Junior's competing.

 

One other point to consider. there were NO junior's participating at the
Nats in F3A last year (2010).  The only person that was listed to
participate was Brandon Landry and he never competed last year.  It would be
a little hard to choose a junior when we didn't have any competing.

That would be our CIAM representative, Derek Koopowitz. However, I have no
idea if he was the representative when the current rules for 2011 came up
for a vote.
After that, Al Glenn as team manager should be familiar with the rules.
And of course anyone now flying F3A should also have read the rules.

Still I can see how this might be overlooked. After all, there appear to be
only two countries who did not overlook it. However the question now should
be: can we still propose a junior at this late date and do we have one that
is ready to step in? Were there any juniors or seniors that flew F3A in last
year's Nats??

I keep wondering who in the U.S. should have been "minding the store" on
this subject.  If other countries picked up on adding a junior member on
their team, why didn't we?

Then I guess the only alternative is to send no junior? Seems to me that if
we get a quick consensus to use the Nats results, it should all be good.

 

JMHO,

I believe none particitated in the team selection process? 
 
Picking someone based on anything else would open a can of worms.
