Eric’s MA column…. Where’s our pattern exposure in the AMA
mag? We have many good people involved who have helped a lot of us learn
and enjoy our hobby. We can’t afford to build walls between each
other. I’m not a current NSRCA member, but only because my life has
limited my involvement at the present. I will participate all I can
because I enjoy few things more than flying with other competitors, and
admiring their skills whether it be writing, R&D, flying, building, coaching,
or just hangar flying. (Pattern flyers are a most helpful group of
competitors!)</span></font></p>

Eric…Although I understand what you are stating and realize I don’t

Eric, I’m not talking about you even though this is your ID. How many
potential pattern guys have now turned away because of this thread? It’s
an ugly black eye and I don’t appreciate this forum being used for this
purpose. But now the cats out of the bag, let’s deal with it fairly.</span></font></p>

NSRCA Board….I would like to see where this was addressed in the past
board meeting minutes. I would like to know where this can be reviewed. If not,
I request a copy of the minutes to be mailed to me at my present address. I
would like to know what authority a SIG has to sanction a paying AMA member
from participating in an AMA national event even as a judge. At what point did
the NSRCA Board discuss this with the AMA Competition Board? If not at all
it’s nothing less than a lynching and the board members responsible for
this should resign immediately. Eric is an AMA member first. The NATS is an AMA
event First. I would agree that the CD, with input from the NSRCA Board, could
recommend sanctions to the AMA on behalf of a written protest.</span></font></p>

that actually state in the AMA rules book. The pilot or anyone on his behalf
can’t confront the judge. This violation is sufficient to result in
disqualification of the pilot from this event. See General Competition Rules

General Competition Rules it also outlines the rules for Protest, See General
Competition Rules page 9 of 12 under Sanctioned Events, Section 18. I will
assume that at a Nationals event, the CD followed these rules. They should have
been followed to the letter regardless of the NSRCA’s position. The CD is
an AMA representative and acts on the AMA’s behalf. No influence by the
NSRCA should have impaired the protester’s right or the rights of the
person being protested.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>First of all, the NSRCA needs to
amend its charter to state that it is a ruling body on judging resources. Then
update the bylaws to cover the related process. There is an NSRCA bylaw on how
to do this and it involves all of you, the NSRCA membership, voting on a
proposed change.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Secondly, the AMA has a pretty good
disciplinary process that the NSRCA could incorporate to deal with judging
infractions. It tells the accused what they have been charged with and allows
the accused to present their case. There is even an appeal process if the
member does not agree with the decision or the punishment.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span

right to face our accuser(s) or the accusation(s).</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>With the bylaws as they are, I
consider the NSRCA board to have acted illegally and to not have given me a
chance to challenge their evidence BEFORE they met and passed their
sentence. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Most importantly, the NSRCA needs to
revamp its judging training. They now need to add performance evaluation to
allow us to know how well we are performing as a judge. Maybe we need to be
rated as to what we can judge. e.g. which class we can cover etc. We should be
tested before--not just accused after!</span></font></p>
