Default Analyzing US Competition Flights

Thanks, Evan, what you said was helpful.

It turns out that I’ve been missing information on OLC, due to the way I get to the site and a failure on my part to understand the complexities of the OLC menu. After getting your hint, I invested some time and got some listings that showed the results for my region, plus the results for other clubs in my region, in addition to my club, my club mates and the US overall, plus a lot more, besides.

I have to agree with Evan, these results are fun. Now I know...

I like OLC for "bragging rights" and friendly match flying with other
guys in my region in a light hearted way. It is fun to see what other
people are up to at sites around the world. The "contest" part I
don't take seriously. That's about location, ability to fly on the
six best days of the year and skill set in roughly equal measures. I
certainly aspire to all those things, but the skill set bit is the one
that earns real respect and that's only 1/3 of OLC.
