[NSRCA-dist8] scoring

[Dennis Cone]

As it looks to me you would be throwing out a round after the third round
has been flown. Correct? While some may have their worst rounds during the
first three, some may have their best. I prefer to have the opportunity of
more rounds to choose from when the time comes for that. So as far as my
choice, I think it points to remaining as we are. Or better yet, fly all six
and throw out the high and low scores.

The other normalization schemes would be interesting to see, and after a
couple of years if the majority likes one of them we could use it in a
contest.
Just my three cents worth and always open for discussion.

not proposing that we do it any different than before but it will be fun to
see the affect. I have heard a lot of speculation about using no
normalization so now we can see!
