ran my first contest this past weekend and was a participant as well. I found it
quite difficult to fly to my to potential. It was hard to concentrate on flying
when I had to make sure everything was taken care of. For example, making sure
the judges were assigned, having scribes for the judges, getting the next class
going after one was done. It can be done, just one word of advice, make sure you
have plenty of club help so in case you're flying someone can step in to keep
the contest running smoothly.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

the contest has a large entry, then it becomes too distracting for the CD to
fly well. If the contest has a smaller entry, then it shouldn't be too bad,
especially if he or she has able assistance in the scoring and judging
assignments.<BR><BR>Matt</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
