<p>Not true. If the masters guy moves to FAI and doesn't want to fly F, then they all fly P. Done.

Then you can bet, not one Masters flyer will consider moving to FAI to fly P if they know a vote could force them to fly F.

<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">As a CD, I will not offer F to be flown unless everyone flying FAI agrees to flying it. Period! One decent, means no. That is the way it should be done on a local level.</span></p>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">The options for F3A being discussed are available to the CD for any contest, decide what the local folks want and announce it beforehand as per the rules. No reason to “legislate” the F sequence away, I suspect that
the F3A pilots in the Gulf Coast D6 region (average of 6 for 12 contests, high of 8 & low of 3) would rather fly all F. Certainly a larger range of scores and easier to differentiate. For those uncomfortable with taking on F (real skill builder), then Masters
is probably best for them – whatever sequence they hammer out.</span></p>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">It wasn’t that long ago that Masters was a huge class. Where’d everyone go? Life changes? Dissatisfied with sequences? Pretty sure very few moved to F3A which had a much shorter P sequence than Masters and F wasn’t
all that tough.</span></p>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Allow F as an option for rounds 5 and 6 and you get the best of both worlds with the benefit of making it easier to separate top F3A flyers when more than one is at a local contest, which is not uncommon in some
parts of the US. </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="color: black;">Perhaps removing FAI F from local contests would solve a few issues discussed on this list:</span></p>
<ol type="1" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;" start="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="color: black; line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 105%;">Current Masters flyers who are advocating for the Masters schedules to adopt FAI P as the Masters schedule could just move up and fly FAI knowing they will not be required to fly the F pattern. That makes them happy.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="color: black; line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 105%;">Current Masters flyers who think adopting FAI P is a bad idea can rest easy as nbr #1 above takes FAI P for Masters off the table.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="color: black; line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 105%;">Current FAI flyers who have no one to compete against at local contests because of F, will now have a few competitors that will undoubtedly move up.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="color: black; line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 105%;">If even one or two Masters flyers move up it will ease the judging issue.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="color: black; line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 105%;">If FAI guys that want to get some F practice for the NATS or Worlds, they can accomplish that at the practice field, and or another option…A CD could optionally add some F demo flights during a contest and have Masters and FAI
guys judge and score them. These would be demos and would not count as a contest flight but allows FAI F guys to get some judging exposure. I have no doubt some of the FAI guys who don’t fly F would be willing to Judge the one or two FAI F guys or even a few
Masters flyers. These F demo flights could be flown at days end on either day or however a CD wants to fit them in. Lunch break perhaps.
</span></li></ol>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="color: black;">I know first hand that a few FAI guys insist on flying F at local contests so they get judging exposure and as a result they have no one to play with.
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="color: black;">For this to work, all CD’s in all districts would need to adopt removing F from all local events. I am seeing many benefits to flying P only, locally.
