That seems reasonable. What if the only day you can attend is the second
day? Do contests allow that? I could have done that once this past
summer, when a tight work deadline messed up my plans.<br><br>

Which is the main reason I fly. For family reasons, I only attend on
saturday. <br>

<dd>One day contests really require a large number of potential flyers
within a reasonably short driving distance. I think that they were
more popular years ago when there were more people in pattern. In
the 80's on the East coast there were lots of flyers and several one day
contests. Today, we have people driving 400 -500 miles to a 2 day
contest and that would not be good for a one day event. However if
you had enough local people to make up for the loss of the long distance
drivers maybe it would work. I just don't know of too many areas
that have enough people local to make up an event and not have to rely on
long distance drivers to guarantee a good contest with lots of
competition.<br>
<dd>I would like some one day contests too, but not if I am only flying
a! gainst 1 or 2 other guys.<br>
