(On the website and in the contest flyer at the minimum) If the CD does not want to fly the “F” sequence, or no pilots want to, FAI will be flown as usual with a best 4 out of 6 “P” sequences.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; "><u1:p> </u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; ">The F schedule scores will simply be entered into the computer as a P schedule. This will apply the “P” K-Factors to the “F” sequence. This is obviously a “handicap” for the pilots who choose to fly the “F” sequence (~17%). It does though allow them to fly the “F” sequence in front of judges and receive scores that they can review for areas that need improvement.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; ">All other scoring, i.e. count the best 4 out of 6 rounds, will be kept as is.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; "><u1:p> </u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><b><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; font-weight: bold; ">District Championships<u1:p></u1:p></span></font></b><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; ">The District Championship will be flown as a Schedule “P” contest only.

If they appear to be positive and the majority of the FAI flyers like them we could make another step next year. If the idea has strong local FAI pilot support, I would support making our local FAI contests a best 3 out of 4 “P” and a best 1 out of 2 “F” for 2011. Please keep in mind that by trying something different this year we are not committing ourselves to any changes for next year. If we adopt this proposal we have most of a year for pilots to see “F” flown locally and for the rest of us to learn how to judge it! Remember our goal is to compete, improve our piloting skills and have fun!<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; "><u1:p> </u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; ">Thanks<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; "><u1:p> </u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; ">Jon Carter<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; ">NSRCA D7 VP<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black; "><u1:p> </u1:p></span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="4" color="black" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: black; ">_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-dist7 mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-dist7@lists.nsrca.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">NSRCA-dist7@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist7" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist7</a><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div></u1:smarttagtype></u1:smarttagtype></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; "></span><o:p> </o:p></font></div></div></div><p><font size="2" face="Arial">No virus found in this incoming message.<br>Checked by AVG -<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.avg.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">www.avg.com</a><br>Version: 9.0.733 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2735 - Release Date: 03/10/10 11:33:00<br></font></p><div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-dist7 mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-dist7@lists.nsrca.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">NSRCA-dist7@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist7" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist7</a><br></o:smarttagtype></o:smarttagtype></o:smarttagtype></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
