<DIV><SPAN class=780111922-04102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I agree
that if someone has the talent to win 2 classes, so be it. But, I don't think
you will see many do it to win 2 classes. I just never thought that if a pilot
wants to move up for more of a challenge that he should forfeit his points
that he's worked hard to earn earlier in the year. I like that Masters/FAI
must choose a class to get points in at the beginning of the year. If a
Masters pilot wants to dabble in FAI, he can do so without worrying that he
will lose his Masters points. If an FAI pilot wants to take a break from FAI,
he'll have to decide at the beginning of the year which class to compete in
for a District Championship.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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></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>
