Unfortunately it comes down to this or no gliders at the air games.
Dunno which is worse. What the 'competition' looks like:

Agreed. I get to see exactly this type of flight every calm winter day.
The only difference is that the gliders are being winched rather than
aero towed. Its OK if you're in the glider, but rivals paint drying as a
spectator sport unless somebody is being taught to deal with cable breaks.
