Another task related subject that has been flailed to death on this forum is the idea that our WGC results would be better if we called more AT's in the US. Check out the Club Class results from Finland and you will see that the only task we won was an AT. Looks like we need to brush up on TAT's (AAT's in WGC parlance).

Also note the US Results at Leszno. US Daily win happened on an assigned task.

Dave and I both finished first on an AT in the 2014 WGC. However, that may not be the best way to judge which task we need more practice.
Other WGC placings:
2nd 2014 WGC Day 1: TAT
2nd 2012 WGC Day 4: TAT
2nd 2010 WGC Day 9: AT
Other US Team members may have a similar mix.

Normalized for the number of times each task type is called the data presented would suggest slightly better at ATs. While I'm all for improving our placing at WGC, I suspect that task format is not the biggest factor.

As for the US - whatever gets more people flying more contests is just fine by me. If someone calls an all-AT (my terminology got polluted earlier - sorry) contest out west I'll go just for the nostalgia. Have done one of those since 1985. I'll be needing a crew.
