Discussion List, NSRCA<BR><B>Subject:</B> [NSRCA-discussion] '08 F3A Rule
Proposals<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just reviewed the final draft of F3A
rules proposals for '08 thru '11 (no sequences yet) and thought I'd
share my quick take. They're well done with some changes (or
not) and consideration of a number of technical issues.
Understand that these are unapproved proposals at this point and will not
affect the '07 season.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most significant items are that there will be
no weight limit change, scores will be normalized to the average (with
some provisions for exclusion of zero scores / excessively low scores from
the average), take-off / landing will not be judged / scored (no more
procedure turn after take-off), sequences will be shorter with an eight
minute time limit, wording to exempt rolling circles from the distance
rules - 350 meters allowable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tech issues include changes to address
measuring equipment variability - sound level (nose into the wind) will be
94.99 dBA max, max weight will be 5000 grams with a 50 gram allowance
(5050 gram fail point), power battery max volts will be 42.99v in the
ready box. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are several items regarding WC
procedures including flight groups for prelims, team championships
determined by finishing order (rather than scores), in the 5-10-5 judge
arrangement the end judges will now judge all turnarounds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Overall a very good effort with input from a
broad spectrum of the world pattern community.</FONT></DIV>
