<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Clay,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I
had a very big problem in getting any score-files to print in the reports.
The AMA report is an official report and as such the scores have to be ratified
by the Event Director and then supplied to the AMA in a computer-file
format before I, or the AMA Nat's news staff, could use them. Basically it was
pretty hard to get this info. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did bi-pass the system as often as I dared and
went direct to the two sets of score keepers. There is a limit to how often one
should do this to the scoring teams. I know that they had their hands full
scoring the event and getting the printed results out to the pilots. I typed the
pilots names into the reports but often had to go and look at the scoresheets
stapled up at the sites. My wife would write them on a scrap of paper and then
type them into the report. I am still waiting wait for some of the on-line
spreadsheets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This MUST be fixed for next year. I too can
relate to the need to see and pour through the story that is told by the daily
numbers of the pilots.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From a timing point of view, we rushed to the Model
Aviation offices every morning at the end of my flying every day to
get these reports done. Most nights it was at least 8 PM before we left. I'm
still in trouble because my wife basically missed the banquet. (She took and
outfit just for the event!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing that might not be apparent is that the
Nat's newsletter is a printed document that goes out on the site every day. To
include full scores for all four classes (120 pilots) every day is probably not
print-practical. Maybe a link to a secondary URL for scores only would do a
better job.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe you should e-mail Lamar if you want
something like this done?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It would have been nice if the all the classes
were completely covered throughout the week. All over the country are fans
cheering for those in the lower classes and those that did not make the
finals. It's like these pilots don't matter. I hope this is taken as
constructive critisizm,,,, The coverage was severely
lacking.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I don't understand Nat. What's the message here. They skipped one
whole day. We got scores from one day twice. It was never posted on the
web site until the afternoon and it would have been nice if they had given
the run down on all the entrants.</DIV>
