The whole point of Blytheville is to do "something else".

Thanks Gary,
I do understand the discontent, however, the point is to make it a quality
event. I am going under the assumption you read my explanation for all this.
If you consider the caliber of judging when you basically have 8 rounds of
finals-masters,fai- in 1 day, how do you maintain quality of judging?  
The quality of flying is very high yet it is ok to use unexperienced
haphazard judges?  You yourself complained about how much money time and
effort you are going to spend doing this but you are willing to take
whatever is available for judges?  Doesn't make sense.  
That is what has happened in the past.  
You are upset because you can't fly 2 more flights after having flown 8
flights not counting all the practice flights.  
This is not a marathon event.  The purpose is to select the best pilot to
the best of our ability.  8 flights should be enough.
I cannot promise you the best judges even under this new system but it is
important to try something else.



Regards,
Mike

I have communicated with many entrants for the NATS this year that are not
happy with the plan for the finals in masters and FAI .. 
I guess i get to be the poster boy for discontent over this ... 
IE it seems you are not taking suggestions or input from a general
membership ... 

While many appreciate the effort it takes to run an event like this the
notion of cutting off the finals to two rounds and flying FAI in the
afternoon seems off base for many reasons ...
I do appreciate your effort and hard work and wish you to reconsider these
plans ... 

The legacy of the event is after all in your hands
