class, the terminus of the AMA maneuver schedule sequence, should reflect what
members of NSRCA want. We can't affect what FAI does to the F3A maneuver
schedule. If we tailor the Master class maneuver schedule to what is in the
F3A maneuver schedule, we will be tinkering with it continuously and changes
to the Master class maneuver will often dictate changes to the maneuver
schedules in the other classes. I believe <U>we</U> should decide what
<U>we</U> want to do and do it. <BR><BR>Ron Van Putte<BR><BR>

votes were disallowed, as they either did not contain a name, competition
class, or AMA number. All three elements were required for a vote to
be tallied. There were three votes where a person selected two classes
for their competition. In those situations, I used the lower class, so
that the vote could be consistently counted across all classes represented
in those choices (there was one each in Intermediate, Advanced, and
Masters).<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>
