US RULES COMMITTEE ELECTION AND POLL - LAST CALL

[Andy Blackburn[_3_]]

Only one day left!

So far, poll responses are up 15% from 2017 and are up an impressive 30% from two years ago, but there are many of you out there who haven't responded yet. If you have flown a US contest in the past three years we want your feedback!

Participation in the annual rules poll is the main quantitative and qualitative mechanism for collecting input from pilots. If you haven't done so, please follow the link below, and remind your glider racing friends!

The SSA Contest Rules Committee 2018 Pilot Opinion Poll and voting for Rules Committee Members closes on Saturday, October 20, 2018 - tomorrow!

Final day of voting is today. Thanks to all who participated. It’s been a great turnout, and it could be even greater. It only takes 15-20 minutes of your time.

(Sorry there are no poll questions about pee tubes, in-flight blinders or use of VR goggles in the cockpit - maybe next year).

For the SSA Rules Committee
Andy Blackburn
9B

Will not participate due to last year's Chairman's debacle.
