Default The near mid-air at the Region 9 contest

Question: is there pressure to equip towplanes at contests and for that matter generally with Flarm? The only recent midair in our area between light aircraft was glider and towplane. If the towplane didn't have a Flarm then it would not have helped. Where I fly I am much more likely to be close to a towplane than any other light aircraft (except other gliders), and I don't take tows.
