There is another issue with F3X ... in the last few cycles the world
were RIGHT on top of the Nats. This prevents some probable F3Xers from
going for the following reasons.
The Worlds are during the same week and transportation is a problem,
packing is a problem.
Risking the airplane during the same week is a too risky ... They
would rather risk it during practice at the worlds (DARYL) .
Time off from work .
The problem is not only related to F3B, F3J suffers the same... but
usually has more TD pilots willing to jump in.
There will be more entries in F3B... This year there is the problem of
getting new frequency modules for some too. Since some channels were not
available to normal F3B'ers.
Right now the Nats is the only F3B event in the country aside from the
Team Selections... Should we just call it a day and say we won't compete
in the worlds then?
Becasue that's what will happen if the TS is the only comp.... The AMA
has decided that if you don't have a minimum of I think 20 contestants
then they won't support that event anymore.
Remove the Nats and we are sure to drop F3B as a team event. Then the US
will be a NO SHOW since you can't get there without recognition from the
AMA.

Interesting numbers from the LSF-NATS Entry pages.
Unlimited entries = 62
RES entries = 52
2M entries = 40 (65% of UNL, 77% of RES)
