[NSRCA-discussion] Power points

[J]

Thanks John!  We are posting the final versions now. I will coordinate with Derek K. to ensure it gets there pronto. I will also have it posted in the discussion forums and on Facebook for all to see and comment. Of course they will also be posted in the Kfactor for folks who don’t engage in digital media.

Joe,

The membership referred to is that of the NSRCA and it is an NSRCA vote. There can be no other interpretation or the freeflight community will be voting on our new sequences. The survey could be considered an approval vote with reservations which I hope have been addressed. Hard to tell. I certainly would not consider the current sequence process to be very open.
The rulebook, as I have mentioned before, also limits the sportsman sequence to four years. Unless you want to do another goaround next year, I suggest you rerelease the current sequence along with a statement that the Sportsman sequence was examined       and found to be valid for another four year cycle. That should be done as part of your upcoming release.

RULE:

The Radio Control Aerobatics sequences will be developed periodically by the National Society of Radio Control Aerobatics (NSRCA) Sequence Committee which is appointed by the NSRCA Board of Directors. The NSRCA Board of Directors will supervise the sequence development and will submit the proposed sequences to the membership for approval before they approve all sequences for use in RCA competition. All current sequences can be found at the NSRCA
website. The NSRCA will modify the sequences for classes 401, 402 and 403, Indoor R/C Aerobatics Sportsman and Indoor R/C Aerobatics Intermediate at least every four years and the sequence for class 404 will be modified at least every two years, but sequences may be updated more frequently as required. Sequences will be published no later than December for the following year. A       description of each maneuver for all sequences can be found on the NSRCA website at: http://nsrca.us/index.php/sequences.

> Each new sequence, or change to a sequence, shall be submitted to the General Membership and public for their review. The BoD shall approve publication of sequences on the NSRCA website for membership/public review and comment. The committee shall update their proposed sequences/changes, if required, and submit it in final form to the BoD. The BoD shall designate the Committee to prepare any inputs necessary to support the sequence changes. Recommended changes to the maneuver descriptions and judging criteria shall be coordinated with the NSRCA Rules Committee (if necessary). Any changes to the Sequence Development Guide will be made by the Committee Chairperson and submitted to the BoD for approval. Once a final set of sequences is approved by the BoD it shall be published in the K-Factor and posted on the NSRCA website.
