[NSRCA-discussion] Removing FAI F from local contests

[Peter Vogel]

F as an option for some pilots is really easy to do with Master Scoring.
It does skew scores toward the guys flying F in the last 2 rounds as and
average of 8.3 on the F sequence maneuvers will be the equivalent of all
10's in the P sequence.
