Otherwise it’s kind of like just going to the practice fields, flying a few times and leaving. I certinally would not drive four to five hours to a contest like that.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Inasmuch as we are obviously open to new ideas, I have decided to address a new contest format.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">We will have qualified judges, (2 or 3) available at the field all day.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Contestants may come out any time between the hours of 8 AM and 4 PM to fly. They will fly a flight, and then either hang around, or (hopefully) go home. (Or wherever/whatever.)</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Contestants will be scored at the CD's leisure, and, at the end of the day, scores will be tabulated, and trophies, (if available) will be mailed to the winners, if any. All scores will remain confidential; only the scorer and CD will be privy to the numbers, on a need-to-know basis.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Just think: No hanging around for a couple of days, no pre-flight jitters, no complaints about judging, (contestants probably will be long gone before complaints could be lodged) no squawking about lousy food, etc. etc. and, if you don't place, there will be no necessity for saying "how could he outscore me? I flew better!"</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Think of the advantages! The possibilities are endless! I guarantee that this format will absolutely revolutionize pattern! It will be changed beyond belief!</font></div>
