Hi Everyone
I am sure Miriam meant OR but I do feel that it was decided that more than 1 Regional's put you in Intermediate for following year and not more than 2 - also its not clear whether dispensation to allow Novice an extra year after qualifying to move up applies to Regional's - suggest NOT - if so then our novices could well be competing have done five Regional's?
Chris has a very valid point regarding Novice 500km - suggest a 500km should put pilot straight into Intermediate for following season.
We need to be careful to not go too far with this or nearly everyone will qualify as a novice :-)
Cheers

Hi all, can we claifiy the logical operands here
is it
1) 2. An Intermediate is anyone who has flown a UK 300km AND has competed in more than 2 UK Regionals..
If so then we are saying that a Novice can have done a 300 and a few 500's , but as long as they have not flown 3 regionals they don't qualify as an intermediate?
So I presume we are saying 'OR' - which makes sense as if you are on your 3rd regionals you areprobably going to have cracked a 300.
I fully support the rule changes for pundit based on my performance last weekend!!

| [East_Mids_ICL] New Rules - Bringing All the Threads Together |
|
Dear all,
There appear to be several different conversations going on at the moment so in an attempt to bring them all together, please see below:
1. A Novice is anyone who has at least a Cross Country Endorsement, has not flown a UK 300km and can have competed in up to 2 UK Regional competitions.
2. An Intermediate is anyone who has flown a UK 300km, has competed in more than 2 UK Regionals.
3. A Pundit is anyone who has flown a UK 750km or has been placed in the top half of a UK Nationals in the last 10 years.
4. There is a period of grace between the move from Novice to Intermediate of one year. For example; if a novice flies a 300km this season (2009), they will not be expected to fly as an Intermediate until the 2011 season.
5. Anyone can move up a class without any penalties. If you feel that an Intermediate could compete against Pundits (or to soothe their feelings!), there is no penalty in doing this.
Russell makes a good point that the orignal rules were designed a long time ago and these changes reflect the changes which have taken place in aircraft design, instrumentation.... etc.
Hopefully this makes it clearer!
Miriam
