There was a rule put in place about a decade ago that allowed a pilot to select a district to compete in regardless of where he lived.

If that rule is still in the it would seem to answer this issue. <br>

<div class="PlainText">History as I remember it, the change was done when there were only two
<br>
pilots active in MD who flew mostly up in D1 and at a time before Larry <br>
Kauffman got things going in Virginia when activity there was at an all <br>
time low. Based on the activity levels currently going on in the MD, Va, <br>
DC area it would make sense to return Delaware(no activity) and <br>
MD(increased activity) back to its original districting, D2.<br>
<br>
For the most part the bulk of pattern activity in our district is in NJ, <br>
NY and eastern PA. New England area is dead for all practical purposes <br>
and really only has one truly active flying pilot in the district. I <br>
doubt New England will ever recover. When I started flying pattern, I <br>
believe our district was among the top 3 largest districts when it came <br>
to NSRCA membership. It was over 100. I think the one thing lacking from <br>
NSRCA is promoting membership in the NSRCA at local contests.<br>
<br>
And the NSRCA as an organization has really pissed me off on the <br>
sequence development. I've been a member since the late 1980's. I'm <br>
digging real deep to really justify why I should continue membership and <br>
to some extent competing. The west coast agenda is destroying our sport.<br>
