Applicants from outside the region also have
priority based on seeding, not reverse seeding.

Unfortunately that's not the case, Andy. Take a look at Parowan entry list at
http://parowan.soaringweb.net/Entry.html You will see a bunch of top
pilots that won't be flying the contest which is limited to 50, due to parking
space.

The *reverse seeding* rule is a well intended, but mis-guided attempt to get
new guys into the sport (racing), but is being done at the expense of guys like
me who have supported racing for 30 years as Manager, CD, Ops guy, Photo
guy,roap snagger, you name it.
