style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I agree Matt I have kept the points in out district
"3" for many years now and the point system works very well. We may have
some better pilots in out district but if they do not compete them does that
still mean they are better. I check the membership of the pilots and only list
the ones that are NSRCA members on the website but I also contact the ones that
are not members and work on getting them to join. I will just use the Masters
class for instants the last three years the pilots that wins at the DC is the
District Champion for that year and we even had a fly off one year. I guess what
I am saying some systems out there that work.</SPAN><SPAN

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Dave, the answer to your first question is no, fairly
often. The best fliers often don't compete at the local level and can't
accumulate enough points.<BR><BR>second question: the answer is also no I
think if the person doesn't fly well also and beat some folks<BR><BR>third:
also no I think, but it also could mean this gregarious person<BR>is very
popular and scores big<BR>often winning local events<BR><BR>fourth and fifth:
don't know <BR><BR>sixth: the DC is a good way to promote PA competitive
flying in any district. To me the DC isn't a single contest, at least not in
my district. It definitely rewards existing NSRCA members in D3, for entering
enough contests and doing well in them<BR><BR>regards <BR>matt<BR><BR>
