RE: 2011 Masters Sequences
 


ORIGINAL: J Lachowski

I've sat on the side and have not made any comments till now. Myself and the rest of the sequence committee put a lot of time and effort into putting together 5 sequences this time around in accordance to the guidelines which are available on the NSRCA website. We made sure to address peoples concerns about what they saw as deficiencies in the current sequences and the need, as a number of people saw, for a shorter Masters sequence. We went the extra mile and came up with a traditional, as well as, shortened sequence for Masters. We did not have to do it, but there was a lot desire to do so from many. We just put the option out there for people to consider.

The thing that irritates the living heck out of me is that everyone was given a chance to review and even fly these patterns many months ago. At that time we asked for peoples comments and suggestions. At that time we got maybe a handful of comments. There was nothing that suggested we needed to make any adjustments. I believe I even made a post somewhere stating that people should really go out and fly them, as well. I'm not so sure we should entertain any changes at this time since it sets a bad precedence, but...

If anyone has any suggestions for minor changes to the short sequence, foreward them to me at [email protected]. There is no guarantee that any of the suggested changes will be adopted. The NSRCA BOD will have the final say.
I forgot to mention, before you make a suggestion for change, please reread the requirements and boundaries in the Sequence Development Guide to ensure that your suggestion is within those boundaries and requirements.

Where would one find the Sequence Development Guide?

I have that document. Have to ask, just how many lawyers were involved in writing that? It is extremely convoluted and difficult to read.

Tony, if you think you can do it better, have at it and rewrite it or at the very least provide some constructive comments so we can make things better. Before this was done, we had zippo. Criticizing it in public serves no good.

I believe this document is being revised to take into account the process that the NSRCA will use to change the sequences. The contest board is voting on the rule proposal to allow the NSRCA to control the sequences. The final vote should be in by Oct. 1st.

I guess it would be much better to just say nothing. Everyone has dug in their heels and at this point really do not want any comments not positive to their viewpoint.

At least public criticism has perhaps educated a few more people on just how this has all come to pass. It has certainly done that for me.

It may be your viewpoint, but it is not mine. No one has drawn a line in the sand. Everything has been made accessible to all in the overall process. I have already suggested a few changes to the committee for review on the shorter sequence based on someone who took the time to provide something constructive. You are still more than welcome to provide some input for changes to be considered.

Joe L,

Probably makes sense that we know the suggested changes so all have chance to review ahead of time.

Thanks again for all the work that you and the team did for us. I know that is a lot of work.

Who is on the committee. I can't find that anywhere on the NSRCA website.

I guess no one knows who is on the committee, other then Joe. Very strange.

You have to have the proper level of security clearance.
Only one I know of is Bill Glaze.
