OK now I'm confused. Section B.3.5 of the ABR: A national team shall consist of a maximum of three individual competitors, or three pairs of competitors, for each category and a Team Manager. For those categories that do not have a separate Junior Championships, the team may consist of a maximum of four individual cometitors or four pairs of competitors for each category provided that the fourth competitor is a junior, plus a team manager.<br>
<br>We don't have a junior championship. Doesn't that give us the ability to include a 4th as long as he/she is a junior?<br><br>Scott<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 11:47 AM, Joe Lachowski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jlachow@hotmail.com">jlachow@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Verne, read the last notice put up by the AMA. Looks like the rules have changed since then. The even quoted a particular paragraph.<br> <br>

<p><span style="font-size:16pt;color:#1f497d">FAI rules limits each country to three team members. The standing World Champion has the option of being a team member of his country or not. The only time a country can have four participants is when one of them is the standing World Champion and in that case, the standing World Champion’s placing will not count toward the Team Championship. That was the case in Portugal where Qui Que participated as the standing World Champion which facilitated three other participants, Andrew, Brett, and Jason. The Team standing (3<sup>rd</sup>) was the result of Andrew, Brett, and Jason’s final standings. Qui Que’s standings didn’t count. I was going to cite the actual FAI verbiage in my response but FAI is having trouble with their website and I couldn’t download the entire Sporting Code. I have the RC Aerobatics section, but I believe the answer to your question is in the General section. The World Championship is an FAI, not AMA, event. This year, AMA is the host, but the rules come from FAI.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10pt">I was reading on the AMA site that it is possible for us to have a fourth team member provided they are a Junior. Someone correct me if I am wrong. So why don't we have a Junior team member? I can think of at least one who is probably capable of flying P11. </span></p>
