Provided that the Intermediate pilots aren't qualified to judge Advanced, right? And since there are 20 Intermediate pilots they can help out with judging Advanced as well - since everyone has to be certified.<br><br>

<div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">As a former Nats event director, I must point out that the Master class pilots are used to judge the Advanced AND F3A pilots, thus the problem with the number of Master class pilots. If you use three judges on both Advanced lines, that's six judges each session. Then, if there are four F3A lines, that's another twelve judges. So, the first two sessions of Advanced and F3A requires 36 Master class judges. Oh oh! we run out of Master class judges on the third day if we only have 40 Master class pilots and nobody volunteers to judge extra sessions. That's why Dave Guerin's hair is turning gray/falling out.
