Todd that is effectively what we have with the sports class and is
probably the way it should be in my opinion.
The high performing ships that really outclass the majority tend to
have very low handicap numbers that tend to make them difficult to be
competitive in most sport class competitions. The really low
performance ships are hard to be competitive in simply because it can
be difficult to consisitantly complete the tasks. So usually the only
reason low performance and really high performance ships compete in
sport class is becuase there isn't a better place for them to compete.
The real racing occures in the middle somewhere.

Just my opinion.
