<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David:<BR><BR>The NSRCA President is not a
dictator, so I cannot just set policy. The District VP's make up the board
of directors who vote and set policy. The policy in place now is to allow
each VP to design and operate their district championships as they see
fit. Guidelines are listed on the web site to help with this.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some Districts use a single contest to decide the
champion, much like how we choose the F3A Team. A single contest picks the
top three. Others (like here in D3) use a point system where contests are
counted and the highest total at the end of the year wins. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally, I don't like the idea of a person
winning the Districts who just joined at the contest, but if that meets the
rules of the program in place, that's the way it is. <BR><BR>My best
suggestion here is to get the membership in your district to push for a change
in the program for next year. Keep in mind that you will be electing (or
re-electing) your District VP this fall. Perhaps you would like to be
nominated to serve the membership in your district. This would allow you
to be in charge of presenting the Championship program that you like to the
membership for approval. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not taking sides here, just stating how the
system now works. Yes, it appears to have flaws (hence the reason for the
guidelines). If the entire membership wants to push for a National
Standard program, that's fine by me. I'll support whatever the membership
wants in this area.</FONT></DIV>
