<div>Hi,</div> <div> </div> <div>I don't think my frind Terry was very upset. I talked with him on Saturday evening and told him the contest was complete on the first day. He wasn't traveling to Hadley on Sunday. He made a great choice to spend Saturday with his grandson and celebrate his third birthday.</div> <div> </div> <div>I thought we pilots agreed that the outcome was determined by the fifth round on Saturday. It made no sense to fly the sixth or even the seventh round on Sunday. Someone coming in for Sunday only couldn't have achieved enough points to make any difference to the points already scored by the other pilots. I thought the CD just rubber stamped the pilots decision.</div> <div> </div> <div>The bottom line is we had a great time at Hadley this year and I hope Del and Terry and all the other pilots who missed it this year will put it on their calendars for 2008. Hadley is a great place to fly and have an aerobatic good time.</div>

The "arrow" was meant for Terry who seemed extremely upset that a contest layout was changed without his knowledge, and that he "may" have traveled to that contest on the second day, which we all know wasn't held. I understand that all of the rules are meant to be followed, I wouldn't have it any other way, but in certain cases "maybe" a allowance of flexibility needs to be entertained. I don't believe the rules allow this, at the moment, however, it's certainly worth discussing in the future.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the

I am just making others that maybe aren't aware or others may even think it is ok to break the rules. If we stop following the rules, or only pick and choose which rules on a given day we decide to follow how is that help the growth of pattern. People that are new or 1st time entering may have read the rules come to expect that the organization does follow the rules. I for one, hate to see some,
start to condone that the rules are their to use when they see fit. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> Del</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=mrandmrst@comcast.net href="mailto:mrandmrst@comcast.net">Ken Thompson</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA Mailing List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, July 05, 2007 4:04 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Was "contest" Small Contest Idea</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT

We had a full spread too, with 1 or 2 in each class. It didn’t make much sense to hold a traditional contest but we were all there to have some pattern “fun”. Soooooo... We made it a 2 class contest. The sportsman pilots each flew 2 rounds at a time (One takeoff and landing), with lots of feedback (the entire group judged each flight) and they had a
very competitive well judged event. <BR><BR>The rest of us ALL flew the advanced pattern, with Handicaps. FAI got –1pt per maneuver, Masters –1/2pt, Advanced flew it straight up, and Intermediate pilots got +1pts. <BR><BR>It was not only a lot of fun (Everyone but the advanced guys were flying an unknown for the most part) but it also was a VERY tight contest. I don’t recall who won...didn’t really matter. <BR><BR>No..it didn’t follow the advertised sanctioned contest, but it was great fun, competitive, a very good learning/practicing event, and it made the best from the turnout we had.<BR><BR>-Mark</SPAN></FONT> <div> <HR> <div></div>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</BLOCKQUOTE> <div> <HR> <div></div>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion
