<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Man Gary,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What's up with all the caps? Aren't we all friends
here?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I had wanted to try this year was the same
setup that we had in years past. I believe that the rule was in effect about 5-6
years ago. We used to allow <U><STRONG>one</STRONG></U> out of district contest
to count towards our district championship points. Now, I think there are some
advantages and disadvantages to this. I feel like this helps our pilots that are
on the fringes of our district that may not be able to attend 5 in district
contests. This was the reason that I wanted to try this again. The disadvantage
could be that since you are not necessarily flying against your district peers
in an out of district contest, some people may feel isn't fair to count
these points towards a championship. I assume that would be your view.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, that being said, I am not too proud to back
down on this if people are really upset about this change. You always have to
remember that this stuff is supposed to be fun. I did consult with the D3 AVP's
and Lamar to get their opinions. With the exception of Lamar, no one had any
serious concerns about this. My personal view is that I felt this wouldn't make
too much difference at the end of the season. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If D3 members would like to contact me, I would
prefer that it be to my personal email address so as not to clutter up the NSRCA
list. If you like this idea or you don't like it, let me know. I will get a
separate, unaffiliated accounting firm to count votes =)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT YOU ARE
GOING TO LET OUT OF DISTRICT CONTEST POINTS COUNT IN DIST 3. THIS IN MY
OPINION IS A BAD IDEA!!!! IT DEFEATS THE NEED FOR DISTRICTS THIS SHOULD BE PUT
TO A VOTE BY THE MEMBERSHIP OF DIST 3 AS A HOLE AND NOT BE A LONE EDICT BY THE
DIST. 3 PRES. ALL IN DIST THREE SHOULD BE REPRESENTED IN ANY MAJOR
CHANGE SUCH AS THIS WITH A
VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV>
