The proposal before the AMA Contest Board removes the sequences from the rulebook AND turns the responsibility for the development, publishing, and final approval to the NSRCA Board of Directors. As it's worded, the NSRCA Board of Directors assigns the task of schedule development to a special committee and then publishes the results for the NSRCA membership to vote on. There was, and may still be a voting poll for the long versus short Masters schedule on the NSRCA site. The last time I looked, the short schedule was ahead by a large margin. I personally don't care which one becomes official, I just wish the anouncement would be made now rather than December so those of us in the snow belt have a fair chance to start practicing them before the Nats.

I was expecting that the vote on the long versus short schedule would come before the AMA Contest Board as it has in the past since the proposal to turn it over to the NSRCA isn't official until the AMA Contest Board votes on it one way or the other. We kind of missed the boat on that one because if the proposal doesn't pass, there won't be any new schedules since they were never proposed. I don't think that'll happen, but it should have been covered just in case.
