[NSRCA-discussion] 2016 NATS Dates

[Atwood, Mark]

Guys,


The AMA doesn't set the Nats schedule, the SIGs do.  They each get one vote.  The Nats dates WERE June 28th- July 2 which would have been horrible.  AL and NSRCA board are to be commended for getting us dates that are only a week off from the norm.

This date is also not set in stone yet.  The AMA does have to vote on it.  It's merely the proposed schedule that's been submitted collectively by the SIGs.

Complaining is likely to make this worse not better.  They're already moving Camp AMA to accommodate us.

We have one of the more coveted spots (late July) on the Nats calendar so it's not surprising the other SIGs would want to occasionally shift things around. If we were part of a less fortunate Sig we'd feel pretty slighted that the schedule never moves.

I'm personally more concerned that we won't get our old spot back in the future.  If we're not careful, this could be the new norm.

IRCHA wanted our dates?  IRCHA’s “event” at the AMA site is not a competition event, so why would they have priority over one AMA’s biggest and most active SIG’s
competition event?

The AMA held their planning meeting and our ED, Al Glenn, attended via telephone.  The AMA, along with their S.I.G.'s laid out the dates.  Precision Aerobatics wasn't really given much, if any, input.  The original dates we were "given" were  June 26-July 1 which didn't sit well with most DVPs due to existing contest schedules as well as the 4th of July Weekend.  The NSRCA pressed the AMA to give us new dates.  We were able to get the AMA to give us the dates above instead of that week which will hopefully be approved by the AMA Executive Council in October.

All,

We have our NATS dates for 2016.  The AMA Nationals for Precision Aerobatics will be held July 10-15th, 2016 (Sunday is processing day).  Although not "official" until the AMA Executive Council meets in October, we are confident that we will have these dates.

One thing to point out concerning hotel accomodations: There is a triathlon that is held in Muncie each year and takes place the week before our NATS.  It is strongly recommended that you book your hotel as soon as possible to avoid any issues as there are likely to be quite a few folks that are still there by the time our NATS begins.

If there are any changes, we will let you know as quickly as possible but these dates are fairly set in stone.

Regards,
Scott
