<DIV>Hey Del. The biggest culprit here is:</DIV>
<DIV>1) The sun, in Alb 4:00 is getting dangerous and in most of the
central Tx events, getting started prior to 9:30 is pretty bad and simply flying
a sillohette.</DIV>
<DIV>2) We have had some pretty big contests the past 2 years</DIV>
<DIV>3) Pilots not being started and ready during the previous
flight and landing procedure(doesn't seem like much but 2-3 minutes per
pilot/ 15 pilots a flight line and 3-4 rounds equals1.5 hours of wasted
time or more on Sat.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sadly however, I've seen it becoming excepted to only fly 5 rounds rather
than pushing for 6.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Why the problem of getting 6
rounds in?..</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I have read a couple of posts on the list about that leave me
puzzled why<BR>some are not getting 6 rounds in at contests they
attend.<BR><BR> 1.) The attendance is so large to not allow
everyone a chance to get<BR>their rounds in?<BR> 2.) Is
weather the culprit?<BR> 3.) It is only a 1 day
contest?<BR> 4.) Only 1 flight line
allowed?<BR> 5.) Restrictive field not allowing flying to
start early or fly into<BR>late afternoon?<BR><BR> The only
times I personally have seen contest decided on less than 6<BR>rounds was
because of weather issues. Even with full rain day still often<BR>get in 4
rounds.<BR> TIA for your
replies.<BR><BR>
