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>

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. Running
the system comes down to this:</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">
1. Getting it to a contest</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">
2. Setting it up (<1 hour)</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">
3. Making sure scoresheets don't blow away when they print</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">
4. Tearing the system down (<30 minutes), possibly both days, depending on security at the site and expected overnight weather.</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">

But I don't really want to run another NATS solo! ~4 hours sleep per night is something I could do easily when I was 20, but not so easy now! I realize the pilots here all want to focus on their NATS experience and the flying...</div>

<b class="">But there were a lot of wives there! </b>And many seem to be involved with the scoring at your local contests on a regular basis (thanks again to Tim Pritchett's wife and Anne <last name forgotten in my fatigue) who helped with score entry due
to the aforementioned windows glitch.</div>

For any district that has a system (or chooses to buy one), I'll come out to the city of your choice for a few days to treat any wives/GFs/etc. who are willing to commit to helping out with scoring in your district and/or the NATS next year to a spa day (massage
and mani-pedi at a recommended spa in the area) and a 1/2-1 day of training on the setup and use of the scoring system. </div>

Districts, this would be, ideally, combined with perhaps a pattern clinic or judging seminar though that's not strictly necessary for the training...</div>
