2019 SSA Contest Rules Pilot Opinion Poll Now Open
Watching this from the UK and finding it ever so entertaining -
thanks all. I've somehow managed to survive all of my competition years so far without meeting an untimely end. That includes a good number of landouts in the early years which, would you believe with decent training and without an unfounded and inflated percetion of risk were carried out incident free. I do especially enjoy that we can race on a level playing field, without having to create scoring formulae and task formats to make slower pilots feel like they've done better than they have. A sad consequence of this is that the slower pilots, who score much lower and land out more often are especially driven to improve and become quite formidable competition. What a bother. I know you're all fans of winscore (I had to look it up). If anyone would like to change to Seeyou then just ask myself or one of the many people around the world who are familiar with it to show you. I'm afraid this could take up to 10 minutes. Carry on!

You can access the poll online at: http://www.adamsfive.com/a5soaring/survey/surveys.php Rich Owen is running unopposed for re-election to the Rules Committee. Consequently, Rich will return to his RC seat for a four-year term. Congratulations Rich! For the SSA Contest Rules Committee Andy Blackburn, Chair 9B Just a reminder here. In spite of the missives being written highlighting the "incredible downsides" of a "big switch" approach to adoption of FAI rules, that IS NOT WHAT IS ON THE TABLE. What is on the table (via the poll) is: SHOULD THE 2020 FAI CLASS NATIONALS BE TASKED AND SCORED ACCORDING TO FAI SC3A TASK DEFINITIONS AND SCORING FORMULAE AND THE RESULT EVALUATED. I am personally a bit confounded and disappointed at the resistance to this experiment by the introduction of all the "big switch - death panel" arguments, which are at best peripheral to the immediate decision. Record your opinion please. QT |
