</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">While certification can be looked on as a necessary evil, it serves a real purpose for getting everyone back more or less in synch on judging. It's a good place to discuss the finer points, if you can avoid the two words that begin with "s" and shall go nameless here!<br>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Has there been any discussion around getting the AMA schedules
and the FAI schedule onto the same cycle? 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></div>

years is a long time to keep one sequence. Any thoughts? Maybe look to
change Masters again in a year but keep the rest? Just thinking out loud.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">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.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">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.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">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.</div>
