[NSRCA-discussion] Removing FAI F from local contests

[DaveL322]

Allow F as an option for rounds 5 and 6 and you get the best of both worlds with the benefit of making it easier to separate top F3A flyers when more than one is at a local contest, which is not uncommon in some parts of the US.

Perhaps removing FAI F from local contests would solve a few issues discussed on this list:Current Masters flyers who are advocating for the Masters schedules to adopt FAI P as the Masters schedule could just move up and fly FAI knowing they will not be required to fly the F pattern. That makes them happy.Current Masters flyers who think adopting FAI P is a bad idea can rest easy as nbr #1 above takes FAI P for Masters off the table.Current FAI flyers who have no one to compete against at local contests because of F,  will now have a few competitors that will undoubtedly move up.  If even one or two Masters flyers move up it will ease the judging issue.If FAI guys that want to get some F practice for the NATS or Worlds, they can accomplish that at the practice field, and or another option…A CD could optionally add some F demo flights during a contest and have Masters and FAI guys judge and score them. These would be demos and would not count as a contest flight but allows FAI F guys to get some judging exposure. I have no doubt some of the FAI guys who don’t fly F would be willing to Judge the one or two FAI F guys or even a few Masters flyers. These F demo flights could be flown at days end on either day or however a CD wants to fit them in. Lunch break perhaps.   I know first hand that a few FAI guys insist on flying F at local contests so they get judging exposure and as a result they have no one to play with.   For this to work, all CD’s in all districts would need to adopt removing F from all local events. I am seeing many benefits to flying P only, locally.  Rick    Sent from Mail for Windows 10
