[NSRCA-discussion] Pittsburg, KS contest

Tue Jun 24 17:13:24 AKDT 2014

Vince,

Here is my scoring as best as I can remember.  I think it should be pretty accurate.

I noticed that  my scoring was pretty consistent for both rounds judged and seem to be pretty close to the other judges.  Guess that is a good thing.

I am not going to say much on the 9 or above scores, except I wish I could do that as well.

The clover, I believe your second looping segment was always smaller than your first one and your exit was a little higher than your entry.

Slow Rolls reversed, it seems that you were losing heading a bit during the rolls, and the hesitation between the two was a pit exaggerated, centering was close but not perfect.

Triangle loop, if memory serves your angles over the top seemed a bit shallow to me, and your bottom roll was a bit past center each time.

Stall turn with 2/4 and 4 pt., this one it seems that you were off a bit on the first point and this put your other 3 points down also off.  

Top Hat, I think you missed the exit on the snap by a little.

Eight sided loop, First round seemed good, don't remember it very well though, fifth round you changed angle on last two angles and came in to the bottom flat and wind moved you off center.

Reverse Cuban, your up lines were steep on all of them. One of the 4/8 segments was not pronounced, kind of sloughed off a point or two.

Knife edge reversed, each segment was a bit different in length and centering

3/8 fig eight, bottom loop finished above the starting point each time, fifth round the top was a bit large too.

Spins, centering on fifth round, and missed the exit on the first round.

I hope that you concur with my memory.  

Nothing at all was bad on either flight and the deductions were small.  I was actually surprised that you were not in second after the end of all the rounds.  My scoring would have had you there I believe.  Your first flight was as good as you were flying in Tulsa, the second was down a tad but not much.  I didn't get to see the other flights so I can't comment on them.

Hope this helps some, maybe we can critique each other on Friday at Hillsdale.

Yes, I agree with all been said.  it was a fun weekend.  It was a pleasure to help Ihncheol and his club including his wife.  

I am going to take the chance to invite to the next contest in Kansas City.  I am attaching the flyer in reduced pdf.  Probably won't go but it makes sense to try.  If you would like to get the flyer or get more information just e-mail me directly at vincebrc at gmail.com

Best,

>Their club is going through a down cycle in membership and this contest materialized due to the dedication of Ihncheol Park.  He loves and enjoys are hobby/sport as much as anyone and with his determination and drive the contest was scheduled and conducted.  The town is small, the club does not have an abundance of members but the contest that is held each year is as much fun as any other that we attend.  I wanted to think Ihncheol for his efforts and I also would like to extend my personal thanks to all that attended (19).  Especially those that made long treks to get there.  Art, Mike, Wayne, Robert, Joe and everyone else that came.  Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska and Texas were represented.  I hope you all had as much fun and felt the hospitality as much as I did.  All of the contests and the wives that were in attendance jumped in and did anything and everything that could help make this contest a success, and succeed
 they did.  It makes one proud to be  a part of our pattern community, I am sure we have all seen situations similar and have had similar thoughts.

>Enough of the soap box, but thanks so much to everyone for making the contest this weekend.  I am sure the Pittsburg club hopes to see all of us again next year.
