Let me try to be unemotional: Being a CD for a regional contest is a big job. You have to prepare everything, purchase prizes, organize helpers, take registrations before the contest. During the contest you have to be the first at the field, the hardest worker, the biggest worrier, the person who calls the helpers who didn't show up, take registations, set up equipment, test equipment, pray for no rain, deal with the whiners, deal with equipment failures, deal with the line breakers and the pop-offers. After the contest you have to announce the scores, tear everything down, entertain in the evening. The day after the contest you are supposed to fill out the AMA paperwork in addition to reporting scores and sending a report to the league, send refunds to the jerks who didn't show up.
I didn't menton getting contestants to sign the safety sheet and fill out the AMA contest form. That is hard enough. Adding a form asking contesants what plane they are flying, what radio they are using, what color their underwear is is just toooooooo much!
