Gentlemen,
I sympathize with Tom Hoopes' loss of his Super V, it is  irreplaceable.
However, as to the scoring, I suspect there were quite a few errors of this
kind.  On a personal basis,  when I checked the score sheets at the
completion of the contest,  I found that I was listed with two scores, one
in RES, which I flew, and one in Overall.  Each score was different!  When I
brought this to the attention of the scorer, he looked at it and said that
he would "check it out" and correct it.  Apparently he did, for now I don't
have an overall score, and the lower posted score stands in RES.
Now, there is no way I could have won a trophy at the Fall Fest:  I just
didn't fly well enough on a competitive basis.  Still, it was my best
showing in the years I have flown there, and I would have liked a more
accurate picture of how I did, compared to the other flyers.
So, here is my remedy for the future:  If I fly in this contest again, I
will keep track of my score and WRITE IT DOWN after every flight!  That way,
I will have a definite record of my result!
I realize that with that many flights,  mistakes are bound to happen.
Overall, the CVRC did a splendid job!
Still, I miss Stretch.
