I too would be interested in seeing a list, not of just the winners, but full placement, and AP scores as well. With all the fuss over BOM all these years, you would think the appearance points placement would be listed somewhere prominently, with pride! All that work on a nice finish, and the only guys who get publicized credit are the front row or concourse winner usually. The rest are a mystery, at least to those of us who don't know where to look. (This is where Keith will step in and tell me I'm an idiot, and we've always done it such and such a way, OK Kieth, calm down, take a breath, then go easy on me in your reply
.)
Who knows, maybe the individual appearance point scores of every entrant might be intentionally with held from publication, otherwise people might start adding stuff up to see who won on the merits of flight score only...
One could then take it to the next level, why can't we see a list of individual maneuver scores, who got pattern points, flight times, etc. so I guess it has to stop somewhere, but as big a deal as appearance judging day is, I would think that at least should be noted and records kept somewhere. There's a special award for concourse too, separate from AP? Someone explain this to me, and do they bother to rank all the ships all the way down? I guess they can't if some planes don't get any votes... Why don't we know the order of those that do get votes?
It's the biggest most important contest of the year for the top flyer's, I would think more stat's would be good P.R. for the event. I know I about wear out my Nat's issue of Stunt News, especially the Noel Drindak technology spreadsheet and the event class scores. Instead of looking for filler pieces and reprint's to fill space in S.N., an admittedly competition oriented newsletter, maybe it would be welcome to have more competition stat's and info inside.
Inquiring minds want to know!
