The proposed / Board-approved sequences are now on the NSRCA web
site, under sequences, then select "Proposed Sequence" from the left
menu area, then scroll down a little for a second left-menu area for
the section entitled "Proposed Sequences Menu" and select
Intermediate, Advanced, and Masters separately for that sequence.<br>

around to flying it a few times before the weather gets bad.
Unfortunately, I have to fly it with my worst flying plane, the
BiSide. The whole thing lacks balance on elements anyway you cut
it. Way too many 1/4 rolls and knife edges and the back to back
maneuvers with snaps. Definitely, the worst thought out Masters
sequence in years from that aspect. If I decide to fly Masters, I
guess I'll have to tolerate it for two seasons.<br>

<p>I just noticed I made a minor error in my last statement
below regarding the vote on the golf ball maneuver. The
vote was actually a perfect tie vote. President Joe Walker
decided to allow the survey results to be the tie-breaker.
The golf ball maneuver was the survey's most contentious
maneuver, indicating the knife-edge loop should be
simplified to a normal wings-level loop (with 1/2 rolls
instead of 1/4-type rolls). So, that's how we selected the
final version of the golf ball maneuver. <br>

<font face="Arial"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size:

<br>
I usually don’t comment about Board of Director’s
(BoD) meetings as the official meeting notes are always
published: I thought folks should know what transpired to
end up with the final Masters 2018-2019 sequence.<span> </span>As
everyone knows, there was a very large contention with the
proposed Masters sequence earlier this year that
essentially revolved around some maneuvers being deemed
excessively challenging by some pilots, as well as the
overall sequence not adhering to the sequence committee
guidelines established several years ago.<span> </span>The
BoD made recommendations to essentially get the proposed
sequence back within guidelines as well as address the
difficulty aspect.<span> </span>The sequence committee
responded with a counter-proposal. The BoD meeting in
October 2017 discussed the counter-proposal and made
decisions based on districts’ preferences and survey
results.<span> </span>Two particular maneuvers were
contentious even among the BoD members during that
meeting.<span> </span>The golf-ball maneuver was decided
by a margin of only 1 vote in favor of keeping it simple
with half rolls (the knife-edge ¾ loop is reduced to a
simple wings-level loop).<span> </span>The second
contentious maneuver was the loop with the top 180 half
containing either an integrated roll or a 4-point roll.<span>
</span>The Board originally recommended to change this
maneuver to include a 4-point roll because, in theory,
that should be easier to do than an integrated roll across
the same area. Several folks stated at the board meeting
that they tried flying both versions of this maneuver
multiple times: all-that-did discovered the version with
the 4-point roll was actually more difficult to fly than
the integrated roll. Hence, the board voted to go with the
simpler integrated roll version.<span> </span>I believe
the final, BoD-endorsed Masters sequence complies with
existing sequence committee guidelines in generating new
sequences.</span> </font>
