What we expected was continuation of proven Club Class regional success to the National level. *That didn't happen, not even close.


And this is exactly what you got. The club class regionals were run
under US rules, with US tasking guidelines, and US club class list.
Exactly this concept was moved to nationals.The one difference at
Mifflin will be (horrors) we will allow the 2 or so lower performance
gliders that typically show up to sports to play in club class. For
obvious reasons, which we've gone over endlessly.

Compare what you're asking: a different list of gliders, and a totally
different set of rules. This was not tried at the regional level, not
even close.

We are bringing the concept from regionals to nationals. It's you who
are asking for something totally different and untried.

At the risk of sounding a little ****y, may I suggest that you try
flying an entire national contest, once, under US rules, and then see
if it really is not providing you with enough challenge?
