Hate to tell you but Sportsman gets hosed over sometimes as well. Sportsman has a large turn out down here in the SE and sometimes on Sunday the CD doesn't want to fly that additional round cause it takes 3 hours to get through one.

The CD's in the SE also tend to cut flying short on Sunday to get people home. I hate this. You spend the time and effort to practice, you take time off from work (Friday) and drive to the contest. Pay for a hotel room, just so the CD can get you out of there by 1 or 2 Sunday afternoon. That blows. I took the time off from work knowing that Sunday was going to be a pain getting home. I know that going into it. I WANT TO FLY. That is why I took the time to practice, and paid the expense of the trip. TO FLY! Not to get home by 6:00 pm on Sunday.

If my field could support an IMAC event I would put one on and allow the pilots to fly. Those that want a jump on getting home can leave early. Those that wish to FLY can stay and do so. Let each pilot make up his or her own mind, the CD shouldn't be making this choice for everyone......

Just my rant.....
