Huh? Re read my post Nick- I never said that State rules apply to Nationals, or nationals rules apply to state comps, I said it seemed strange to allow states to change the nationals rules or introduce new ones to suit themselves when THEY run a particular nationals i.e. I believe (correct me if I am wrong)mandatory FLARM at recent Queensland held nationals was a STATE decision not national body decision.(Note: Example only FLARMnatics need not respond) National comps should be based on Nationally decided rules not any one states whim.
Of course, each State can have their own comp rules for state comps-but logic would seem to dictate using the same rules as national championships to help people prepare properly for the next level up of comp. I will try to find the reference to such matters regarding competing at regional competitions to qualify for a comp license (could be a US thing). BTW I have no interest in comps myself, just thought it strange that the national rules could be changed at the whim of a state that is holding them, I know of no other sport that allows this, although I am sure Victoria wouldn't mind changing some footy rules so they could (maybe) win a premiership again eventually(-: Regards Dave L -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 30 January 2007 10:19 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] Horsham Week / VIC State Comps Dave, The nationals rules don't apply to state competitions - they apply to national competitions. Makes perfect sense to me. The state based competitions arent modifying the nationals rules - they have their own. Good thing too, they are entry level events. The state based cricket competition doesn't play 5 day test matches.

No license, no compete, no compete no license! Why am I not surprised! One thing I have never been able to fathom is how States are allowed to modify the nationals rules at will, it seems to me they should be decided Nationally, and states should not be able to tack on their own extras, such as mandatory FLARM without National body approval of a rule change. It seems crazy to allow this to me, and I can think of no other sport that does this sort of thing. National comp rules should be a matter for national consideration, not the whim of a state body.

It is my understanding that in order to be able to use the GFA competition insurance cover, all competing pilots must have an FAI competitor's licence. This is why all competitions in Qld (including the Easter competition) require competitor's licences. -- Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring The material contained in this email may be confidential, privileged or copyrighted.
