[NSRCA-discussion] Website update

[John Gayer]

The new website looks great and is a much better presentation of the 
information we all need.

After reading Mike's article on the Nats I have a couple of comments.

I like the idea of trying out an addition of Sportsman on a trial basis 
although I'm not sure how we would fit in the additional class in 
Muncie. Regarding the trophies, I would provide the same trophies for 
Sportsman as any other class. Getting the trophies from the AMA 
shouldn't be a problem as Sportsman is an official AMA class. I don't 
see the point in making the effort to include Sportsman and then making 
them feel like second class citizens.  I assume that the same aircraft 
specification rules will be applied as everyone else. No waiver for "fly 
what you brung"

Second thought relates to holding a final for Intermediate and Advanced. 
In the past there has been an acknowledged problem in finding judges 
plus many of the competitors didn't want to hang around the extra day. I 
suggest using the third day as a combination of a final and the usual 
last two rounds for non-finalists. The top 8 competitors would go into 
the finals and fly two rounds. Best of the rounds would be used to 
average with prelim average to establish the finalist order. The 
remaining pilots would still be jockeying for their final placing but 
could not beat out any finalist.

Or everyone could fly all 6 rounds and then have a one round sudden 
death flyoff of the top 8 places for final placing.

Point is that there are ways to provide a final for all classes without 
undue strain on all concerned.
