able to accumulate points in FAI and Masters? I think this portion of the rule
could discourage people from trying FAI. Or, does the rule intend to stop
pilots from flying both classes in a single contest (which doesn’t happen
too often). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>I would like some input from D3 pilots about advancement and
district championship points. In the past, our district has not allowed pilots
to move up mid-season and still keep their points from the previous class. To
my knowledge, this has not been a written rule, but has just been the way we
have done it. I remember this coming up at least twice in the past ten years or
so.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Anyway, personally, this has not been a rule that I
necessarily agreed with. Since this doesn't seem to hapen often, I haven't
thought about it while I have been DVP. Recently, this issue has come up again.
So, I have spoken with the AVP's and next years DVP, and we have come up with
the following possible rule change. Please feel free to comment either on or off
the list, but please let me know how you feel.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>A pilot accumulates points during the year for the class in
which they fly. If they decide to move up in class, they will keep their points
in the lower class, but will not begin accumulating points in the higher class
until after the district championship. Once you move up in class, you cannot
move back down. Masters and FAI pilots must choose either class to accumulate
points, but cannot choose both. A pilot, therefore, may only be eligible for
one district championship.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
