Remarkably, as I traveled between any of the 3 flying sites taking pictures morning or afternoon it seemed like Peter “was always there” making sure all was going well…and except for the small glitch he mentions below it was. Some of my close friends had score sheets in their hand “almost” by the time they got their plane of the runway…..and he flew in the competition as well. What an amazing bundle of brilliant energy, NSRCA is lucky to have so much talent in its midst.</span></div><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;">Jay</span></div><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1646403536yqt2774233562" id="yiv1646403536yqt58093"><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;"> NSRCA-discussion [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Peter Vogel via NSRCA-discussion<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Monday, July 31, 2017 1:44 PM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> General pattern discussion<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [NSRCA-discussion] Quick ping for interest...</span></div></div><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal"> </div><div><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal">Hey folks! </div><div><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div class="yiv1646403536MsoNormal">After running the NATS scoring solo this past week, I think we have the basic ongoing use of the system at a contest pretty clean, the minor issues we had were due to some of the special conditions of the NATS (8 rounds of Masters, divided A/B flight groups and resulting inconsistencies between prelims and finals flight groups causing import errors, that sort of thing) and one weird windows user profile glitch that deleted master scoring from a laptop and took about 45 minutes to resolve one morning.
