Default The 2009 Club Class Waiver

In the IGC rules, the factor applied to your speed or distance is the
ratio of your handicap to the handicap of the best glider at the
contest. In the US Sports Class, the factor is the handicap itself.

The difference causes the boundary between points for finishers and
non-finishers to be shifted. The amount of shift depends on which
gliders show up for the contest (in the IGC case).
