<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Me and a flying buddy (who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent) have hashed out what we believe is a viable framework for changing sequences yearly by the NSRCA....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Step one is to remove the sequences from the rulebook. Without this, nothing else matters.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Step 2, give each NSRCA District rotating responsibility for generating sequences each year. The VP will manage the process, explicity or by delegation. The method for generanting them is up to the VP. They can do it themselves, by committee, or by rolling dice. Sequences are due January 1 of the year they will be flown. In september before the year the sequences are due, the VP submits them to the NSRCA executive council. The NSRCA executive council can reject them and require they be revised with a required 2/3 majority vote. If accepted be the council, they become the official sequences for the following season. If new sequences are not presented by a district, then the prior years sequences are retained and the offending district has to wait another 8 years to have another opportunity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are 8 districts (9 if canada is included). That would mean that a VP would have years of advanced notice of the impending deadline and have plenty of opportunity to process new sequences to be ready for their turn. A natural sense of self preservation and responsibility, will automatically guide the sequences to criteria that meet the needs of the VP's district constituents and national constituants in all aspects such as difficulty, length, progression, etc...whether the yearly changes are radical departures, or subtle develpoments, the interest level within a given district preceding their "turn" and the will be healthy for the sport and should really keep inteterest up. </DIV>
