<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>
