I'll bet that many of the people who voted NO on having the progression of AMA
classes designed to prepare for F3A were saying, "I don't think the
construction of the progression of maneuver schedules should be dictated by a
maneuver schedule we have no control over." I, for one, feel that way. I
feel that the Master 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>

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).<br>
