Chuck,

This "National Point System" could also be used to justify moving back a class as well. No longer would one have to "Be out" of the sport for a number of years to do so.

What we have now is basically useless, There is no tracking or enforcement available other than the honor system.
I agree the honor system should work but we live in the real world not the one we wish for.

If the word "should" is adopted then the entire process becomes a moot point.

I flew 4 Masters contests back in the early 90's then took ten years off from the sport to raise a family and start a business.

When I came back to the sport it had changed so much I got my hat handed to me quite often and still do even though I dropped back to Advance.

I believe we need something other than what we have now. The IMAC system seems to be "Doable" for us, I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel to do so. We might add a clause that a flier must attend (enter a small number here) contests each year to be ranked.

Let's at least explore the possabilities.
