Rick,
You can use 10 contests, you can use 100 contests..
the whole idea behind the contest requirement is for the Aspirant to meet
and learn form different people, that is why the number of people in the
competition is different for each level.
The task sheets and the web site are NOT in conflict.
The stuff, to which you refer, on the web site, is informational first and
foremost.
The VOUCHER is the staple. There are no grey areas, no need to read in
between the lines, cause there is nothing there.l
If you want to be an idiot, and fly 100 contests, Place last in each one to
count the points, then so be it...
You will have to admit that, even that would take some skill building to
accomplish even that task.
The Program is designed to be fun, helpful, enjoyable, as well as training
aide.
It is designed to introduce the aspirant, to many new fascists of soaring,
and along the way, meet a few people, and learn something from them.
Its nice to have "YOUR" Principals but, pushing people away from the
program, because of drivel like this, does not serve the soaring public, or
the hobby in general.
Me, I flew a bunch of contests, and recorded only the big point contests.
BUT, I had to list six contests. So when I did turn my level IV form in I
had well over 10, 000 points, in those six contests.
In those days, I was flying 13 major contests a year and a club event every
month.,
Think about it.. To get good I had practice.
Does everyone have to do it this way...NO....its a "personal program"...Not
Jacks, Ricks, Bills, or anybody else.
I by the way just happen to hold the key.....for now !!
As far as I am concerned, the subject is closed.
I am hopeful that you and your friends can now continue you LSF journey, un
hampered.
Respectfully
Jack Strother
LSF President
