Do we really have to have judging recertification when sequences change? I say no. The applied criteria don't change unless there is a rule book change.<BR>
<BR>
Do we have to have judging recertification when the rule book changes? I say yes or no depending on the degree of change.<BR>
<BR>
But certifcation is always going to be needed for those who have never been certified.<BR>
<BR>
Obviously this coming year we will all need recertification or certification. There have been massive changes. <BR>
<BR>
The next question is. When are we going to finally get to the point where there is very little changed in the rule book ? With the rule book as it is written, probably not quite. As long as I can remember there have been changes constantly being made to the rule book. <BR>
<BR>
Is it time for the ruie book to be overhauled and cleaned up to get to this point? I say probably. Sounds like a task for the Judging Committtee and the Contest Board combined.<BR>

<DIV>There hasn't been any discussion on this at all. We could move in that direction with the next sequences that get approved for Sportsman, Intermediate and Advanced, but, as you mentioned, that would mean we only get to keep those sequences for 3 years. I'm not in favor of changing these again in 2012 - I think that is too soon.</DIV>

<DIV>We can poll everyone next year to find out... </DIV>

This would help tremendously with Judging certification. Assuming that we can’t really impact the FAI 2 year cycle, it would mean either keeping these new AMA schedules for 3 years, or introducing new schedules again in 2012. </SPAN></P>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Everyone,</P>
<DIV>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>The NSRCA board has approved the proposed sequences for Sportsman, Intermediate and Advanced for 2011 (and beyond). The NSRCA board also approved the short Masters sequence for use in 2011/2012. I look forward to a great 2011 flying season with these new sequences.</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>In addition, the board also approved the sequence development guide - the revised version will be posted on the website this evening along with the new sequences for 2011.</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Thanks for everyone's patience on this... since this is our first time going through this process, we really wanted to make sure we got it right so that we could meet our goal of approving new sequences in future years by October 1st prior to the year of actually using them.</P></DIV>
