A large amount of masters <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-0><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-0>flyers</SPAN></SPAN> asked for this change. I'm <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-1><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">absolutely</SPAN></SPAN> sure of this. That's why Rusty made the change. Changing it back now is going to upset a lot of people and look like a power play from the top of the food chain. The sentiment <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-2><SPAN>among</SPAN></SPAN> a lot of the masters <SPAN id=misspell-3><SPAN id=misspell-1>flyers</SPAN></SPAN> is that they are treated as second class citizens at the <SPAN id=misspell-4><SPAN id=misspell-2>nats</SPAN></SPAN>. That's a statment I'll stand behind because
thats exactly how I've heard it.Lets not forget that the masters class has the most fliers in it and it's important that their wishes are <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-5><SPAN>accommodated</SPAN></SPAN> once in a while. I'm not the one saying it but I sure as heck can tell you that its a strong sentiment.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"> <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-6><SPAN>Personally</SPAN></SPAN> I'm just happy to get the week off and see my friends and maybe just maybe impress a few with some form of talent and <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-7><SPAN>preparation</SPAN></SPAN>. If its changed back I promise I'm not going to say a word. I however can not vouch for my friends I can almost say for sure that they will not be so kind.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"> This is not a huge deal. It's been done for many years successfully. Its a minor <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-8><SPAN>inconvenience</SPAN></SPAN>.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"> So for the sake of peace and understanding I'm asking you all to go with it and don't fight this too much this year.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">I'm looking forward to some changes and I hope it leaves everyone happy. This may take some sacrifice from some but were all in this together and we need to get along. The nats needs to be a showcase of what pattern represents. Good people who share a common passion for a pretty obscure activity.</SPAN></div>

<DIV>Frankly, I like the idea of Masters finishing earlier in the day for a change. If we run long, they will have to wait. And we are talking about 8 people for the unknown meeting, correct? This isn't a team selection year so there is no need to expand the number of finalists.<WBR><BR></DIV>

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto" id=yiv306410130>Based on the Master class entry list and the fact that the Master class is flying in the morning, we should use up virtually every minute from 8:00 A.M. to noon, assuming 10 minutes per flight and very short judge potty breaks. I hope there's no rain delays.
