Great discussion.

I'm not changing our format but I've also thought my club could offer both a 1 day and a 2 day contest. The goal being to get more local guys, that I'd call "fence setters", flying in the contests.

I'm doing a fun fly this fall and will be doing a "mini-mac" format the afternoon of that event. I'm offering basic and sportsman and the opportunity to fly 3 known rounds. Planes will be 50cc or less but otherwise no restriction.

My goal is to get guys introduced to IMAC by keeping the "contest" short and sweet. I got to thinking that maybe more guys would be interested in IMAC if we could offer a well thought out, 1 day format.

I'd like to keep rolling this around - seems like there are folks out there interested in both formats.

I can still offer a 2 or 3 days of flying in a 1 day event for guys that are coming out of town; the field is available Friday - Sunday and have the contest on Saturday like I discussed earlier. The opportunity then exists for guys to converse and possibly, more experienced guys offer seminars (judging, flying, setups, etc.).

I see the problems in a 1 day event but I'm not sure they are show stoppers. The same goes for the 2 day event, I see some problems there too.

I appreciate the comments and points of view.
