Yep, but guaranteeing a individual and team medal is not a sure thing.
Numbers do guarantee continued support.
And once you have lost support it is almost impossible to get it back.
The question is: Do you want the USA to field a team for the "REAL"
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS?
Shouldn't the nationals support an event that will be challenged in the
WORLDS?
I doubt I will ever make the team, but I intend on supporting those
gifted pilots who can, whether it be F3J or F3B.
I wish more of you guys would figure out that flying F3B can make you a
better pilot... And is a kick in the pants.
Then maybe we can have some fun..... Ever watch a distance event in good
air... Man it's exciting racing back and forth listening to fast
buzzers... even when you are not flying you are on a team and it is non
stop action...... Ask some of the slope racers.

Jeff,
My understanding is this is not correct. My read on the AMA's recent
FAI team support plan is that as long as the US team takes at least a
team or individual medel every other WC then the AMA will support the
team.
Or if there were regularly 20 or 25 or whatever people trying out for
the team.
