[NSRCA-discussion] Amnesty idea

[Jon Lowe]

Mike, 
The rules already allow someone to move down.  All they do is send an email to their AMA District Contest Board member, who, if they concur, forwards it to the AMA DVP for final approval.  Can be done at anytime.  We've had a couple of people in our district do it without an issue.  Procedure is outlined in 8.1.2 of the Radio Control Aerobatics rules.

Jon

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Amnesty idea



At the Peoria contest this weekend we had the pleasure of having John Gayer from New Mexico attend and fly with us.
 We got into a discussion about ideas to grow the sport.
 One I brought up and it's nothing new is a one time only Amnesty period.
 It would allow any flier who has been a consistent low placer in their class the ability to drop down at the end of a season.
 It seems clear to me that this really needs to happen and the residual benefit from such a program could very well help to get some guys back into the sport.
 What would it take to get such a program instituted? 
 What are the barriers that would stop this from being put into the rules?
 Is there a potential downside to this that would make it worse than what we have now?
