A reality that we have to face is that the cost of our flying sites needs to be covered.
For sites like Kibbie, where you can fly heavy and light at the same time, a flat fee works well. We have chosen $200 for 5 days (we need 30 participants to cover the costs).
Kent is similar. We ponied up $10 per hour each for the record trial on Saturday.
Sites like Johnson City, that require time slots for compatible weight models, a structure where contestants pay for the events they want to fly works better.
I agree that it would be simpler to have one base fee (this is complicated by the fact that the funds actually go to two different places - AMA and NFFS, and then are further shuffled around). But we'd then just have to adjust the fee structure to end up at a similar bottom line.
