*Important differences to club/sports, just to be clear on the facts:

Water allowed
All tasks (unlike sports which doesn't do assigned tasks)
Counts for standard class US team position, not club class
Only standard class gliders allowed
Handicap adjustment limited to LS4. You're welcome to come in a
Standard Cirrus but will get the LS4 handicap

Why: 3 pilots are now signed up for Standard Nationals Montague. Other
ideas for getting participation up are most welcome. Not sure how
"sounds like club class" helps that goal.

Other things that may have helped but likely too late now is move
Sports and Standard so they don't overlap. Three nationals in the west
and they all overlap. Give them a 4% handicap and let them fly with
18m.
