RE: Why Fly Basic?
Hey guys....I was the scorekeeper at the second event referenced in this this post, and the fact that a complaint has made it to this forum with the context "ripped off" in it really does not set well with me.
I was approached by the individual who aired the complaint on Sunday of the event ; He is a member of the host club. I advised him to address it with the CD as well as the president of the club. I also advised him to bring it up at the next meeting and get it on the agenda to address by the board of directors (one of which I am !!), but I was told "I can't make it to any of the meetings".
The call was put out last year for more of our members to become CD's in order for contest interests to be more diverse and tailored to the CD's specific interest. A few have, but none who are active in IMAC competition. If you don't like how the contest was run, get involved with it and CHANGE it. Better yet, if you even have the slightest concern, clarify it with the CONTEST DIRECTOR or organizer PRIOR to flying in the contest. Don't just bi$%tch about it to the world afterwards and make the folks who ran the contest look incompetent.
This is the second year in the row I have BUSTED MY ***** for two FR#$%^KEN days for you people when:
1) I could be participating
2) I could have been doing something a whole lot funner than pounding a keyboard for 12 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday. I won't even mention the hours of prep it took.
Gee, lemme think...I didn't get to fly ANY sequences....this year OR last year....
[>:] Next year I'll be out riding dirt bikes when this contest comes around......one of you guys can keep score.
