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? <br><br>Shawn Berkheimer <br><div>(408) 509-4459</div></div><div><br>On May 30, 2020, at 10:24 AM, Art Kelly via NSRCA-dist8 <<a href="mailto:nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">We are dealing with fluid times.
