<body>Del/Terry get a life. Frankly he did what was in his right to do. And I'm sure he discussed his plans for the contest at the pilots meeting. I wasn't there but I bet everyone understood and accepted the CD's decision. You failed to realize they probably lost money running the event due to low turnout anyway. Also, he has to consider the club. Would you want your local field closed for use two days just for 10 guys from out of town? He may have saved his contest for next year by doing so. He helped our cause for better or worse.<BR>
<BR>
So Del, when are you going to show your face at a contest? Don't remember the last time I saw you<g><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Ed..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> As I recall it is in the CD packet you receive when you take your test to become a CD. It was many years ago that I became a CD so I may be confused on it being in the packet. The rub would come if a AMA filed a protest against a CD for advertising an event that they didn't follow through to provide as advertised. All AMA sanctions have guidelines. If you mislead/change or don't follow the sanction guidelines you can have disciplinary measures taken against the CD.</FONT></DIV>

<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> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</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>

<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>
