[NSRCA-dist8] D8 standings

Thu Sep 11 07:36:06 AKDT 2014

Gordon,

Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes I don't include enough information when I write and it
leaves a lot to the imagination. Nothing I said was meant to minimalize the participation of the
NSRCA. Just so no one gets the wrong impression, I have always supported them and been a member. All
I was trying to say was that it was not a requirement to be a member of the NSRCA to fly in an AMA
Sanctioned contest. I encourage everyone to be a member however and for the very reasons Gordon
pointed out. If it was not for the NSRCA I think the AMA would have forgot about us long ago. So
thanks Gordon for looking out for me and saying the things I should have said. 

As far as registration goes, I just wanted to clarify that if someone is following this list and not
a member of the NSRCA, or hear about the contest from someone else, they can register at the contest
and it was not a requirement to pre-register. My point again was too vague.

Dennis,

It is inaccurate to say that your contest "has nothing to do with the NSRCA". The NSRCA provides
lost of support to all the D8 pattern contests for example:

1.) Your contest is advertised and promoted by the NSRCA, its on there web site and this is done at
no cost or requirements on your part.

2.) Your contest if promoted at all the preceding contests to get as much participation as possible.

3.) NSRCA provides scoring support.

4.) NSRCA provides awards design and printing support.

Without the NSRCA's support it would be a lot more work for you to run a contest and I do not think
you would even get enough attendance to run a contest.

All we have been trying to do with preregistration is get a good idea of how many pilots will attend
and get the scoring software ready in advance to minimize any delays in getting the contest started.
Knowing the number of pilots attending also helps us determine the supply we will need for event.

The concept of preregistration is something we have discussed at preceding contests and the judging
seminar.

All,

This is a club sponsored AMA event and really has nothing to do with the NSRCA. There is no
requirement to be a member of the NSRCA to fly in this contest and being a member is optional and
only counts towards district points. If you want to join it can be done at the contest.
Pre-registration is not a requirement. Everyone is welcome to show up and fly. Even though there has
been a trend towards a requirement to pre-register, please feel free to register the day of the
contest.

I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend, it should be good weather and a lot of fun. We will
have lunch available both day's for those who want it.

Good to know you found a solution, but being a member of NSRCA shouldn't be a requirement to
register. I am sure it will be taken care of.

Tim,  
Had the same problem; then found that I had to log into NSRCA first. Registration went through after
that.
