<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Creating the unknowns in the afternoon complicates things
for the CD because he would then have to find replacements for any of the FAI
finalists that have Masters judging assignments. It's all a pretty delicate
balance from what I've seen and makes me really appreciate the CD, whoever it
happens to be.</FONT></DIV>

changed.<BR><BR>So I agree with Ron's concern about changing things,
(someone get Ron some<BR>smelling salts quick!), just for FAI team selection
needs. I have seen a<BR>lot of that over the years. A team trials has a
marked effect upon judge<BR>selection and the payment of the extra judges
who come in for the FAI<BR>selection component. It already has spilled over
into the social side of the<BR>Nat's where our banquet is now on a Tuesday
night so that FAI unknown<BR>schedules can be drawn up on the Wednesday
night.<BR><BR>It also puts a lot onto the Nat's event director and
invariably the other<BR>classes experience some neglect. I also wonder if it
wise to have the same<BR>guy running the Nat's and the team trials,
especially when the some of the<BR>top FAI pilots are sponsored directly of
indirectly by the same individual.<BR><BR>I would be much happier if the FAI
team selection was not run by the AMA<BR>Nat's event director. I would also
like to keep the Nat's for the majority<BR>who come for the
participation.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Eric.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>-----
