Ron, I'm curious. Would you rather fly your 20 b in Club Class or Sports class if both are held same time/place?

Club Class if contest is held in the west (strong conditions)
Sports Class if contest held in eastern 2/3rds of the country

I am using Parowan as an example, with stronger conditions, specifically wind, the long wings and heavy ships, DUO's and motor gliders and 18m, have the advantage. The performance spread is just too high when trying to determine good tasks.
