Derek,<br>
<br>
Since noone qualified through the NAts last year, could we extend an
invitation to an under-18 who is currently flying F3A? Perhaps by
making a selection through how many competitors the candidate has
beat in contests this year? There can't be that many to choose from.<br>
<br>
I suggest that the opportunity to compete in a world championship
against the best in the world would be a very memorable experience
for one of our kids regardless of trophies, etc. Whenever there has
been an opportunity to field a fourth entry as World Champion, we
have done so, even to the possible detriment of our team standing at
the WC. I suggest this would be in the same spirit without any
downside impact to the team. <br>

starting in 2012. A decision to include junior’s was made
by the CIAM F3A Sub-Committee chair in November last year
and got the approval of the CIAM committee in early December
at the CIAM meeting (which I did not attend). The first I
heard about this was the middle of January when we were
getting ready to publish the first bulletin for the WCs.
This WC will not offer a “Junior” World Champion – there
will only be a “highest placing Junior” if there are more
than 3 Junior’s competing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

junior’s participating at the Nats in F3A last year (2010).
The only person that was listed to participate was Brandon
Landry and he never competed last year. It would be a
little hard to choose a junior when we didn’t have any
competing…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That would be our CIAM representative,
Derek Koopowitz. However, I have no idea if he was the
representative when the current rules for 2011 came up for a
vote.<br>
After that, Al Glenn as team manager should be familiar with
the rules.<br>
And of course anyone now flying F3A should also have read the
rules.<br>
<br>
Still I can see how this might be overlooked. After all, there
appear to be only two countries who did not overlook it.
However the question now should be: can we still propose a
junior at this late date and do we have one that is ready to
step in? Were there any juniors or seniors that flew F3A in
last year's Nats??<br>
