<body>Another question. Was the Nats EVER profitable in the past(post Navy era)?<BR>
<BR>
If it wasn't maybe it should have been fixed a long time ago and there wouldn't be this discussion. If it was profitable, I wouldn't mind seeing what the net gain or loss over the years has been.<BR>
<BR>
Yet another question. Are other special events/competitions outside of the Nats at Muncie assessed some sort of users fee to offset operational costs(if any)?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
FYI. I'm for adding Sportsman next year, provided there is a minimum of 10 entrants. If not, refund or give those who entered the option to fly Intermediate. Sounds fair to me. Obviously, this year is a little too late.<BR><BR><BR>

To add to this. We need hard numbers. How many entrants does it take on a given day or event for the AMA to break even on cost. Just maybe some events don't pay their fair share as compared to others. <BR><BR><BR><BR>

Well if the Nats are in the red then there is a need to increase the number of attendees and/or increase the entry fee not the number of days. Wasn't this years entry fee increased?<g> Maybe all the SIGS need to encourage more of their people to attend or lose it. There was a time when pattern had over 150 plus attendees. There are some events that only have a handful of people involved. Maybe some of those small events need to be discontinued as part of the Nats.<BR> <BR>Tony, how much is in the red anyway? hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of dollars?<BR>
