My view: we have a really nice drop-a-day scoring provision in the rules. John good gets major credit for working out all the bugs. It would address situations such as this one. In my view it would also bring safety imporovmements. Faced with a land out or a storm or other event it would be much easier for pilots to make the rit decision and not soldier on as we now do. Most of all I think it would make contests more fun. If you screw up or land out on the first day, it's no longer hopeless and really wait for next year..
So why don't we use it? Because the rc doesn't shove this sort of thing down pilots throats. It's been an available option at regionals for years but with a few exceptions (Ionia ) nobody has tried it. So, if this sounds like a good idea, you the pilot need to ask your cd to try it! Chances are, the cd isn't even aware it exists. Things like this need to be tried at regionals for a few years, gain acceptance, then move
