<DIV>There is an advancement point system defined in the AMA competition regulations. For Intermediate and Advanced class, once a pilot earns 100 advancement points they must move up to the next higher class at the end of the season. 1st place earns points eqaul to 3 times the number of pilots you beat, 2nd place earns you 2 times the number of pilots you beat, 3rd place and beyond you earn 1 point for every pilot you beat. For eample, you place 2nd in advanced ahead of 2 other pilots you would earn 2x2 or 4 points. The first place pilot in the same contest would earn 9 points. Tracking of points is the pilot's responsibility. The AMA does not track them, the NSRCA does not track them. You can read the details in the regulations found here: <A href="http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/rulebooks/RC%20Aerobatics.pdf">http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/rulebooks/RC%20Aerobatics.pdf</A><BR> </DIV>Bob

I understand getting to know 1 sequence is easier to judge, but the Masters and FAI guys should be able to have a handle on the other class without much work. Its probably just me, but if FAI were to fly both P and F, then having "Masters" fly P might be a more Masters class this way. Then again, I may be off in left field, or is this right? And since now both the Team Trials and Worlds pick the winning teams at the end of
the contest (after F) it would make more sense to start flying F locally so it's not a shock come Nats time.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN><FONT face=Tahoma color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN></FONT></P>

Then the rules committee does not have to come up with a new schedule periodically as it changes every other year just like FAI.

Each round two masters pilots judge and don't fly rotating through the entire class. It seems like the time required would work out the same because the group had two less pilots but again
lot of objectivity ( conscious and unconscious ) required especially as the contest end grew near. <BR> <BR>Anthony</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN></FONT></P>

We did this about 4 years back at our district championships with the masters class. We had 17 pilots in masters, and only one (me) in FAI, and another 6 or 7 in advanced. So getting any judging at all would have required heavily using the Intermediate and Sportsman classes to judge, OR, heavily
burdening the few Advanced guys...and sitting through 17 masters flights is a looooong sentence.<BR><BR>So we did the peer judging scenario. Given the options, it worked very well. But it requires some serious juggling to even try and make it work well. We ! used pe er judging for 4 of the 6 rounds. Two flight lines, with a rolling panel of judges. 5 judges on each line, tossed high and low by maneuver leaving 7 pilots not judging at any given time. This allowed the person before and after each flight some time to prep and decompress before having to jump in the chair for 5 flights and then start over on the second line.<BR><BR>Its a VERY VERY VERY busy process, not to mention that unless you completely randomly resort the flight line each round, the pilot will be judged but the same group...or maybe more importantly NOT judged by the same group each round.<BR><BR>It worked...but it was messy. I would only do it
again if we were presented with the same grossly offset numbers of entries. <BR><BR>On a related note... A better solution was tried a few years later when we had similar numbers (16 masters pilots)<BR><BR>We created 2 classes of masters...A and B. we still used FAI and Advanced j! udges, but we were also able to sprinkle in B judges for A and vice versa. We did 4 rounds for each group. Took the top 4 from each group and combined them and they flew the last 2 rounds as a Finalists group (with the other 8 judging and flying in their own group for the bottom 8 spots.)<BR><BR> This was MUCH more workable, and I think netted a fairer event in the long run.<BR><BR>-Mark<BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>On 1/31/08 2:46 PM, "Woodward, Jim" <jim.woodward@baesystems.com> wrote:</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN></FONT></P>

I dont think it sends the right message about problem solving or achieving a more accurate score per maneuver for each pilot. Psychology 101 would predict that it does not foster the right mindset or circumstances for a competitive environment (Reality TV shows like Survivor are based on one form or another of peer judging). <BR> <BR>The #1 component that must be correct for it to work is that
all pilot/judges see and subtract about the exact same number of points per maneuver see the same downgrades. The situation doesnt compute if one judge is off from the others or uses impression judging. A bunch of stuff should probably be in place for this to! work l ike: large number of judges, drop high score, drop low score, etc. The highest caliber of honor, integrity, and judge-education is required by all competitors to make this work. <BR> <BR>I witnessed this as a Masters pilot watching the FAI contest. I watched the flying and this scenario VERY close. My opinion is that I would chose not to compete in FAI in a peer judging scenario. <BR> <BR>Thanks,<BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=black size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Jim
