The new website looks great and is a much better presentation of the
information we all need.<br>
<br>
After reading Mike's article on the Nats I have a couple of
comments.<br>
<br>
I like the idea of trying out an addition of Sportsman on a trial
basis although I'm not sure how we would fit in the additional class
in Muncie. Regarding the trophies, I would provide the same trophies
for Sportsman as any other class. Getting the trophies from the AMA
shouldn't be a problem as Sportsman is an official AMA class. I
don't see the point in making the effort to include Sportsman and
then making them feel like second class citizens. I assume that the
same aircraft specification rules will be applied as everyone else.
No waiver for "fly what you brung"<br>
<br>
Second thought relates to holding a final for Intermediate and
Advanced. In the past there has been an acknowledged problem in
finding judges plus many of the competitors didn't want to hang
around the extra day. I suggest using the third day as a combination
of a final and the usual last two rounds for non-finalists. The top
8 competitors would go into the finals and fly two rounds. Best of
the rounds would be used to average with prelim average to establish
the finalist order. The remaining pilots would still be jockeying
for their final placing but could not beat out any finalist.<br>
<br>
Or everyone could fly all 6 rounds and then have a one round sudden
death flyoff of the top 8 places for final placing.<br>
<br>
Point is that there are ways to provide a final for all classes
without undue strain on all concerned.<br>

I agree Vince. We did it in the D-3 contest announcements that
were just phased out.

<div class="">Only one suggestion. It will be great to
somehow allow pilots to tell the CDs that they are
planing to attend their contest. I think is good for
the CD and clubs to have approximate head count to
prepare for the contest. Probably this has been
discussed in the pass and I forgot details. Also this
helps the CD to comunicate back to pilots in case of
sudden changes just before the contest. </div>
