<DIV>Oh heck, I couldn't resist, so I went back to try to find the place in the
rules where it says a CD can't shorten the contest. I couldn't find
it. I found things like he can't cancel it for low attendance, which
didn't happen. But nothing about clipping a day off the end after a
sufficient number of rounds has been flown, with the consent of all contestants
PRESENT. Please provide the passage for review, because I don't see it
anywhere.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry is correct. The CD guidelines are very
clear regarding any changes to a sanctioned event that are advertised. They
do have to follow the format that was advertised. Acts of GOD & severe
weather are acceptable exceptions. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Ask John about what he was thinking re. the Sunday late comer
possibility. I don't know.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I think the CD does have this type of discretion.
There's a point at which you are putting contestants who did show up on
the advertised start date and time in position where they would have to
incur the additional time and expense of the 2nd day for no useful purpose
from their point of view. We got 5 rounds in without breaking a
sweat. That's a complete contest. I think he made a good decision
and he also discussed it with us first.</DIV>

<DIV>When John made that decision did he consider that there may be a
flyer who could only make it Sunday?? At one point that option was one I
considered. I had a birthday party for my 3 year old grandson in CT, and
I gave consideration to coming home Sunday by way of the contest.
Needless to say, I would have been really P*****d if I had gotten there
just to find out that it had been turned into a one day affair. That is
NOT following AMA guidelines for a contest adminstration. The CD MUST
adhear to the advertised event schedule.</DIV>

<DIV>This was actually scheduled as a 2 day contest. Due to the
low attendance, John Tarpinian elected to make it a one day contest,
which worked out quite well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I agree with George's assessment. It's a really
nice field with some minor runway obstacles to keep in mind, but for
all practical purposes, they don't exist due to the CD instructions on
how landings are to be scored (anywhere on a very long runway is a
10). We had a great time flying, the hospitality from the club
was great and overall, it was an event I will want to return to.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> When/if I can get
back to competing that is a long way to go for a one day event
knowing how fickle the weather in the N.E. can be. I have
never attended a 1 day event in all my years of competing. If they
were close by that might make it viable.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For all the guys in D1 that missed
the Hadley contest on Saturday I want to express my disappointment
at the absence of your presence at what was a terrific time.Ed Alt
was the only guy that showed up from the N.J. contingent and was a
great help as judge, caller, and certainly the premiere performer
of the day with really notable performances from Scott Smith with
his new electric Patriot with the Hacker 60 up front. I felt that
everyone flew well and would have loved to have had more
representation in each class. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Due to the East facing
flightline we didn't get started as early as I would
have liked, but that was probably a blessing in disguise as
we probably would have had a 10 round contest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As it was, the contest was a very
laid-back affair with wonderful temperatures and partly sunny
skies, a little breezy in the P.M., but handled easily by everyone
in attendance. Lots of lazy kibitzing under the easy-ups all
day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The field was freshly mowed and well
prepped for even the lowest of prop clearances ( Walter Erickson
had about 3/4"). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of the enticing features of this
event were the high dollar prizes awarded the winners. Jim Quinn
was overheard celebrating his $6K award for his high placement in
Master's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In spite of my personal ban (
apparently the word had not gotten out) I was allowed to judge 5
rounds in all classes which was very refreshing after all these
years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The kindness extended to me was very
much appreciated as they allowed me to fly a class that I was
totally unqualified for in spite of the fact that I came in dead
last (in a field of one).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great food was in abundance both
lunch and dinner and it was gratus. Nobody went home hungry. John
Tarpinian(C.D.) did an admirable job of putting together a first
rate event and even had a hat-draw raffle at the end where
everyone went home with something of value (that's in addition to
those high dollar placement awards).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In attendance was the "New Kid" in D1
competition, David Lampron, who took first in Sportsman and at 13
years of age is going to be one to watch in the next couple of
years. David has a younger brother, Dean, who I predict will
follow in his brother's footsteps. These 2 kids are the nicest
young guys, respectful and polite to a fault. David served as a
maneuver caller for the judges on many rounds and a little sister,
Kelly worked on the scoring program ( not as a runner, but
the real thing), she must have been about 9 or 10.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The field is a little tight on one
end and will make you pay attention on your landings, but the
overall surroundings are a very pleasant farmland
paradise. For the guys that passed this one up this year, you
really missed a great time.Be sure and put a big star beside this
one on next year's calendar.You'll be glad you did.</FONT></DIV>
