will need to sign that you have experience as an event official (they
don’t need to be CDs), this is from the CD application. You will also
need to take an open book test and take as much time as you need in the comfort
of your own home…</span></font></p>

in my club for coordinating a non-sanctioned fun-fly contest… CDing a
contest is great fun, and you will not be alone…people that attend your
contest will probably help as needed. The NSRCA Web-site has good info on
preparing and running a contest.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I attended 10 contests
before applying for CD (three I didn’t fly in, and seven I did) during my
first year. Ask allot of question and learn a good and bad things at a contest.
You can then put your ideas to work for a successful contest. Highly recommend
this approach…</span></font></p>
