> Good point Chris.  And since the NSRCA is in charge of the points and makes said decision without at least talking to all parties involved and taking a board vote BEFORE making any decision, then it’s simply not an organization I care to support or belong to.  This whole mess has gotten so rude and out of hand it’s crazy.  Looks to me that the mature one was my son when he said he doesn’t want to be part of a hobby where grown men act like children and  friends fight amongst themselves.  Isn’t this something we do to relax and have fun anyways?  He witnessed what I consider appalling behavior a few years ago, and showed absolutely zero interest in flying anymore.  I am NOT going to mention the names, I am NOT going to fuel this blazing fire, but I AM going to say when we can all act like civil grown ups and get along, I may consider flying again, until then I do have some nice competitive equipment for sale!!!!

But one thing I have never done nor would I ever do is stand DIRECTLY behind judges I disagree with while they judge remaining flights.  It puts very unfair pressure on someone who probably doesn’t want to be in that chair anyways.  Again no names but a thought to consider.  Used to really enjoy this stuff, but it will definitely be a while before i do again!!

To me and most others it seems, NSRCA points are not BMFs affair. That belongs to the NSRCA.  The NSRCA is an organization right? If we don't pay them we can't get district points right? Where is that confusing anyone? 
>> 
>> I fully understand BMF and their decision. I could care less who they ban... It's about district points and why it is or isn't fair.  It's not rocket science and perhaps you should put the shoe on the other foot also. I tried it on.. I returned it to the rightful owner after thinking about it carefully from the other side.

How does that make it a "level playing field" for them?

Not often the case when you're just getting in to pattern. I'm also lucky to have good friends that help me attend contests. Otherwise I could only go to contests that I run or I can return home easily to stay the night.
