Default Canadian contests & SSA ranking points

Why don't we (US, the SSA) credit US pilots who fly Canadian contests with SSA ranking points? For example, Canadian Nationals?



I think that it is sensible that Candian pilots are given a ranking on the 2014 SSA ranking list. Why not expand an complete the integration?

Thoughts?

what about non-canadian foreign national championships, and continental championships? should those contests also count towards US pilot ranking? This kinda goes back to the concept of national records following citizenship instead of geography. are we trying to determine the "best" glider pilot who is a US Citizen or that flew a contest in the USA?
