The club has 4 reasonable options.

1. Do nothing. Not viable. (Somebody is going to get blind sided by the softball.)

2. Switch to 2.4. (Find a different ball diamond for their game) Expensive, but maybe the best solution all around

3. Attempt to negotiate a frequency agreement (Work with the other teams to reschedule one of the games) Sounds difficult to me to do with an ad hoc group of flyers, but some here seem to think it can be made to work. Perhaps worth a try.

4. Ask the county to intervene. Force a frequency agreement, or get both groups flying at the same site with standard frequency control. (Have the county draw up a schedule for the ball fields) Both of those are better than shutting the one group down. Runs the risk of the county shutting it ALL down.
Your #3 option is the first thing to try.
#1 and #4 are the things the established club will consider the last resort.

Why on earth do you think option #3 is likely NOT to work??? You are GUARANTEED not to get a compromise in this situation if you don't try it... Geezz [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
