    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>

                  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
