I don't think the majority of Masters pilots want to fly two sequences, based on what I've heard over the years.

Take this for what it's worth, I have not flown either of the two proposed sequences yet, and probably won't unless I get out before it gets cold up here. I do know that I do not like the length of the current sequence, I get bored about 2/3 of the way through it. That being said, I have aspirations to move up to FAI after the Nats next year as I haven't flown at a Nats since I've been in Masters.

Tony, your point about the 1-1.5 minutes extra for the longer sequence is great on paper, but in a practical application, do you really feel that would be the case? Assuming it is 1.5 minutes extra per flyer to fly, and there are 10 Masters contestants at a given contest, and there are four rounds flown on that day at that contest, that would add a minimum of one hour to the total length of the contest, assuming all the stars align perfectly, and everyone is flying the same speed and distance out.
