You have good points ,but how many contests did he win before he could buy <BR>
the Champs. Maybe I missed something. Was this a one contest take all <BR>
situation?<BR>

I don't know the answers to your questions . <BR>
<BR>
But I can tell you this . I won the D2 Advanced championship in 2000 . Never won a contest . But I went to contest and flew well in them. In D2 our system rewards consistency and attendence . We only keep points for NSRCA members . Therefore , in our system you would have to keep your own points and prove it to " buy " your championship . <BR>
<BR>
We have several members in our district who in all honosty will never fly well enough to be the district champion . But they go to contest and help others and pay their dues time and again and again . Should they, through hard work and practice over all the years be in the position to win a championship , have it stollen by some-one who calculates a way to save $30.00 ? I don't think so now, and never will . <BR>
