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

<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>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><BR></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>
