This sounds good to me as a compromise. From what I've seen, we are
currently having difficulty getting enough competitiors for the classes
we have now without adding another class.<br>

<div>Suggestion: Why we don't call Expert = F3A and fly the P
schedule only in local contests? The only change we will need to make
is that Expert = F3A becomes the last AMA class. In other worlds,
Master should not be the terminal AMA class. Adding another class will
add cost to the contest and probably will be longer to run. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I have been thinking, it
might be time to bring back the Expert class. The reason I say this is
because the Masters class is becoming rather large and is going to grow
in the coming years. The problems I see are the difficulty judging at
local contests. At the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">St
Louis</st1:place></st1:City> contest it took an hour and a half to
judge Masters. Because Masters is the largest class compared the
Advanced and Intermediate and only three FAI, it can be difficult to
organize Judges for Masters. I’m not singling out the <st1:City
w:st="on">St Louis</st1:City> contest, the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Omaha</st1:place></st1:City> contest was the same as most
contests I have been to. If Masters was split in two classes it would
inc! rease t
he available people to judge.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Masters could be a little
easier and Expert could be harder. Expert could even be the last FAI P
schedule. The reason some don’t wish to move to FAI is the time to
learn two schedules. It looks like the Masters class is going to get
larger and I think it would be good to break it split it up.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
