Schedule for Nationals?

[Soar Like an Eagle]

Bubba,

I agree with you regarding scheduling (planes, etc). My personal opinion is the weekend schedule should be made with age/participants in mind. For instance, in the field events, have the 30-55 age groups compete on Saturday and Sunday because most of us work and the 60 plus compete on Thursday and Friday because they may be retired. The only problem with that, is having the opportunity to see friends old (not old, just friends one has not seen for a long time) so I could be wrong. Also, based on history, some field events could be held in two days versus four days. Organizers could check past history and schedule based on previous years and schedule accordingly. I competed in Spokane in 1996 and it is a great place to jump and the officials were great. I am really looking forward to jumping and seeing everyone. It does not matter when I jump on Sunday because I am arriving Saturday PM and leaving Monday AM. I am sure it is very challenging developing a schedule for the meets. I am very thankful that there is a group of volunteers who work very hard at organizing and putting the National Masters Meets. I look forward to seeing you

Thanks Ken (& Becca). Amazingly it's still not up on the meet website. I don't get it. I have a good friend who wants to drive over from Seattle who can't make plans until he knows the time. Bubba

The schedule is up!!

Weather here is great and the field is as blue as the sky. The pit is set up and available, although the cover was under water as they are soaking the field after an event that used the field this last week. I hope all your poles make it, as you all know this is a major issue for all of us. Tracking a couple shipments now and they should make it here without damage, god willing. See you all soon.

Thanks for the info Kirk. My poles arrived yesterday (via BAX) so that's always a relief. How's the wind? See you soon. Bubba
