YEA WHAT HE SAID

Don't worry man, front page says 120 pro spots to be sold. That's a bunch of spots and heck I don't even have a ticket yet. There will be plenty of pro tickets for purchase as I don't see paying customers below that limit being turned away. However, the longer the pro spots are not on sale the less likely med-long distance travelers are going to attend. The spots being locked/up in the air this close to the event is exclusionary (and financially short-sighted) at a time when inclusion needs to be our crawling mantra.

Hang in there.

It is time to open up tickets to the wait list and general pop, per my request. I would like to see full class attendance to give sponsors the coverage they desire, to make good showings for the RC driver article, to increase competition for drivers, and to pay for judges to man it.


I understand that this may upset drivers that "put in their dues" to get to Worlds, but the invite system was put into place to cap the event size. Now that we aren't hitting event size limits through invites (and have a meager invite list for 2014), the tickets can be up for grabs so that there is better competition to the folks willing to travel so far. I will be rolling this forwards into 2015 with Worlds being open attendance. But if we have enough ranked drivers we can also have World Finals there too...

No problem boss!
Last time I let some unqualified drivers in I was raked over the coals. I have no problem selling more tickets.

120 drivers assumes a full judges pool...which it is not.

JRH requested I open up available slots now, and I have done so to match the level of judges currently signed up. The number of available tickets will NOT increase unless the judges pool also increases.

ALL TICKETS ON SALE NOW
