<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You need data. Hopefully, the numbers of
folks who are switching is being documented/tracked to help you all "inspect"
your change.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> For those who have exercised the
option, it obviously is a benefit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If it does not harm those who
have NOT, there is no need for it to be an issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After all, declaring a "district" isn't like
choosing sides for North or South in 1861.</FONT></DIV>

thoughts?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The NSRCA board voted in a change to allow pilots
who live on district borders or who compete more in the "other" district, to
register in that district for district championship purposes. This year you
can do it up to the end of July.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried the option, just for grins, and
immediately got a bit of ribbing from my current district D-1 and my
foster home district D-2.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my case, I know that I am not going to
terrify Don Szczur (flying FAI) when he finds out that I am now a rival as
opposed to a visitor in VA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It did get me to ponder how well the ability to
change districts is going to work. There are districts who would lose pilots
and not gain any and vice versa.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At a higher level, does it really matter if
you live or are registered in a district. Should it be more important that you
show up, pay your entry fee and fly???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not want to incite word-war, but I really am
interested in how it will pan out and what people think about it? We are
giving it a try but should also inspect the results for next
year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
