Tim,

I like the giving guys the option to move back if they need to. I honestly don't see a lot of people who would use the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so I think it would definitely work. A lot of pattern is confidence in your own abilities. I think you would actually see situations where a guy could move back to Advanced from Masters (and maybe that is the only class we let people move out of and stay there), and once he gets back to Advanced regains some confidence in himself and might want to move back up. I do think we need to let the lower class guys however have it setup so they can "try" a new sequence at 1 or 2 contets to see if they are really ready. Flying a sequence at home alone and in front of judges are two different things. Let guys test the waters if they haven't pointed out. But in Masters, let guys have the option if they are uncomfortable with a sequence of moving back.
