What percentage of USA glider pilots compete?

I'm curious to know if anyone knows what percentage of USA based glider
pilots fly in official contests (less formal individual club contests
are less interesting to me). If I were to use my personal contacts (the
pilots I fly with), I'd put the number around 10-15% but given the
amount of coverage given to competitions, I'm starting to wonder if
that's anywhere close to being accurate.

Do you mean "compete", or "fly in contests" ?
Best Regards, Dave "YO" ;-)
PS: Remember that competition drives the glider technology and
the used ships available to the market...
