G/Day Brett,
                 Sorry but no i didn't mean to open old wounds and do know about how things work over there, but i sit here and read these forums all the time but don't normal say anything and i know why now.Because people like myself not a know flier like youself cant have an opinion of thought.All you do is shoot people down and not once praise anybody its Brett's opinions that count.
Sorry but I'm not into people that think that they are better then everyone else because they won a Nat's.Shame winning goes to some peoples head.
     BYE

   Uh, I don't know how you got to this, but I get the same right to express my opinion as you do. I have no more power than to make a good argument that makes sense to people. This thread is not about me. Might want to stick to the point.

Gentlemen,

Randy is the Event Director for the CLPA Championship. That competition is run under AMA Event #322, which includes the BOM requirement as he states it.

The Skill Class Events (#323, Beginner;  #324, Intermediate; #325, Advanced) specifically permit non-BOM models to enter, even though they are ineligible for Appearance Points. I believe Nats Skill CLass events will be flown by the Skill Class Rules.

Expert Skill Class, #326, is not flown at the Nats. Instead, AMA Event #322 - basic CLPA Rules - is the Expert-level competition.  The championship, and competition for the Walker Cup relate to the AMA #322 Event.

I hope this softens some of the agitation. Top Nats fliers I've met take pride in their own construction and finishing ability, as well as their flying talent.

Hi Lou

Bill Rich is the ED at this Years NATs, I only posted the information on the web sites for him. I wanted to make sure that is clear. I had thought I had made that clear in the post about the NATs, But If I didn't  it should be now

Regards
Randy
