<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>RULE CHANGE...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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></DIV>
