<p class="MsoNormal">I know all of the contestants appreciate all of your hard work. I remember all of the years that I was involved in the Nats and Team Selections. If something went wrong in scoring, it was not a fun situation to be in. Things always worked
out, but getting there could be a "pain".</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry for the delay getting the F3A final results published. They are now live on PatternScoring.com under District NATS/

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here's what was going on -- because in the F3A preliminaries we were unable, with the matrix system, to ensure equal exposure of all contestants to the judges, the new F3A normalization rules would have made it possible for a winner on
one site to potentially get hundreds of points more than a winner on the other site, having nothing to do with the quality of the flight but only with variance in judging. Hence the decision was made to normalize only to 1000 in the preliminaries, and, since
a normalized prelim score carries forward to the semi-finals, to apply the same normalization to the semis.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The finals are effectively a completely separate contest (though maintained as rounds 7-10 in the same contest) with no carry-forward of scores, so there we wanted to follow the new F3A normalization rule.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">MasterScoring handled all of this quite well, however, we discovered on export of the contest results for publication that it would apply one normalization rule or the other to ALL rounds of the contest -- which obviously does not reflect
the official results.</p>
