I agree with with Buddy on the RCU thing. It was a choice by RCU not to be there in force. RCU will dominate coverage at the ETOC by choice. Often, this is a location thing as RCU is mostly based in NY, NJ, and Conn. RCG is based down South in Texas and Tenn., so it makes sense for them to have coverage in Memphis. One media cannot dominate all the shows simply by the cost to do so.
My comment was more about this issues with the on-again, off-again, final round using the same plane. While we thought it was a good idea to level the playing field, others did not. Further, some members in the crowd were heard saying that the FMA pilots did well because they were a platinum sponsor. I just shrug it off to ignorance.
At ETOC, they are also trying to level the playing field by introducing a first round pattern circuit to help hold this new generation of young 3D pilots at bay. Again, I think this is a good approach and my pilots see it as just another challenge. Other pilots have backed out of the competition.
