[NSRCA-dist8] Contests

[Shawn Bekheimer]

Art, as of yet I haven't read anything in these emails that addresses the financial impact that some D8 members may have encountered due to the Covid-19 crisis. This certainly will have an impact on participation. The average cost to travel within D8 when you figure in gas, hotel and food is going to be $500 plus. I imagine that this would limit some from attending the remaining 3 contests plus the Championship contest in Medford. Is there any plans on a reduction of contest results that applies to championship points?

At this point in our calendar there are three events remaining, Redmond, Richland and Medford. We would like to get a sense from all of you about participating in these contests.
