I don't think it is fair that the juniors flew less rounds (only half as many in the flyoff) as the seniors, when:
1. They pay just as much entry as the seniors. 2. Their planes cost just as much. 3. They too, are competing for a shot on the US team. 4. Their travel often costs more, as many of the juniors also have to have a parent (who is not competing) travel with them. The juniors are the future of the sport and I feel they are not being treated as equals. I was there and know that weather delayed some flying time, but I think there needs to be some guidelines on this, and not just CD's discretion. I realize it was a hard decision for him to eliminate some rounds, I just think it was the wrong decision. I am not posting this as flame bait, but I would like to hear honest opinions on the subject. BTW, thanks to everyone: organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and participants,etc who helped to make this an enjoyable event. This is my first time attending an F3_ event, and I learned a lot and appreciate the effort and assistance given by all of those in attendance.
