<div>The rules already allow someone to move down. All they do is send an email to their AMA District Contest Board member, who, if they concur, forwards it to the AMA DVP for final approval. Can be done at anytime. We've had a couple of people in our district do it without an issue. Procedure is outlined in 8.1.2 of the Radio Control Aerobatics rules.</div>

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Amnesty idea<br>

<div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif">
<div><span>At the Peoria contest this weekend we had the pleasure of having John Gayer from New Mexico attend and fly with us.</span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> We got into a discussion about ideas to grow the sport.</span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> One I brought up and it's nothing new is a one time only Amnesty period.</span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> It would allow any flier who has
been a consistent low placer in their class the ability to drop down at the end of a season.</span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> It seems clear to me that this really needs to happen and the residual benefit from such a program could very well help to get some guys back into the sport.</span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> What would it take to get such a program instituted? </span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> What are the barriers that would stop this from being put into the
rules?</span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif"><span> Is there a potential downside to this that would make it worse than what we have now?</span></div>
