I have flown the 2011 long sequence and it is shorter in time then the current masters pattern. I do not think we should shorten the number of maneuvers in Masters. We only fly one pattern as opposed to the finals pattern in F3A, so we need the number of maneuvers to help determine the better flier. F3A went to a shorter pattern only to get 120 pilots flown at the WC. In AMA we have no need for this. Let's quit blindly following what F3A does and do what is right for the AMA classes!
