[NSRCA-dist8] 2022 Schedule

[Sean Mersh]

Hi Bob,
as far as I know, July 9/10 was never the traditional date (maybe it was > 6 years ago, before I got to Medford?).
And yes, the probability of rain is higher in April versus July, but July has other issues: heat and smoke from fires 😐. There are no easy solutions; each one has advantages and disadvantages...
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean, I have two  questions and a comment. Wasn’t July 9,10 the traditional date? And isn’t the probability of rain much higher in April versus July.
 My info indicates around a 30 percent chance of rain in April versus about a 3 percent chance in July.

Thanks, Bob

Hi John,
thanks for distributing the proposed schedule; it has been eagerly anticipated throughout D-8. However, I must report to you that our club members were surprised to discover that the Medford pattern contest was moved from 23/24 April to 9/10 July. As you may remember, I sent you a link to the Rogue Eagles event calendar on 16 December, indicating that we do not have a lot of open dates for a pattern contest.
I realize that you are concerned about weather issues here in April, but 9/10 July will not work for us. Our club has about 130 members who enjoy a wide variety of activities during the summer months, and we have two events (a pylon race and a rocket launch) scheduled that weekend. Additionally, D7 has a contest scheduled at OCMA (Steve Hannah) on the same weekend and published their calendar in December, so our contest could not be a D7/D8 shootout.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi all, after talking to the Cd's here is a tentative contest schedule for
the
year 2022. This schedule took into account the weather conditions for each
contest venue. Last year we had weather issues at some contests and this
schedule will hopefully rectify those issues. We will also have the D8
championship at a central location in Redmond as they have lifted the 400 ft
requirement.

The opening contest will be at the Tri Cities, WA location. Bill Bowen has
agreed
to host the judging seminar at his contest. I will run the seminar which will
start at 8am on
Saturday and finish at noon. The seminar will include active panel judging of
each and every class. Up to 6 judges will judge each demo flight and an
active
discussion will occur after the flight. We did this at the Boise contest last
year and it was very successful as a learning tool. We will need at least one
pilot from each class to fly their pattern and be judged. The main contest
will start at 1pm after lunch and fly 2 rounds on Saturday and 4 rounds on
Sunday.
Please visit the NSRCA site and review the judging criteria and re-certify as
a judge.

Schedule:

May 21/22 Tri Cities, Washington
June 25/26 Boise ,Id
July 9/10 Medford, Oregon D7/8 Shootout
July 23/24 Redmond, Oregon
August 13/14 Becks field , Oregon
September 3/4 Mollala, Oregon
September 24/25 Redmond, Oregon D8 Championship contest

Thanks to all
John
