We made a major improvement by splitting the sports class in two. Now
we're not flying 1-26 vs. Nimbus 4.

If you think that the handicap groups are still too wide, then either

1) bring us lots more gliders, so we can have narrower handicap groups
but more than 3 gliders per "class." RW's pure club class can happen
if 12 gliders below 1.0 start showing up so we can have 3 classes.

2) Go fly FAI classes. The 15 meter class is basically a one-design
class at the moment. 27 and V2.

Club Class is an FAI class! - however big bucks differnce between buying a
std cirrus or a v2/27 - why not try running it for a few years as a comp
within the IGC definition - you have no probllem doing that with other FAI
classes, and see what happens rather than basing things on past history -
if you want a sports class have it as a seperate comp - my feeling is you
will find club class will be your most subscribed class after a few years.
