This raises a good topic for another thread. You can hardly accuse event organisers of marketing F3A in any way shape or form. When you see the official website for major events pop up with all the instructions and entry details it looks promising, then the website seems to go dead when the comp starts and you feel lucky if they bother to post the final results.

It's hardly a professional sport in Australia and for the most parts it's all volunteers doing the best job they can but when you hold a major event (for Australia at least) like the Masters and don't even post the results on the Pattern associations national website where the event is it a bit sad (the old entry forms were still up there though). The new tends to leak out through the state websites and personal blogs. I really don't know how they get any sponsership for events at all.
