Thanks to the PRL volunteers for sure. I certainy did not mean to complain. I am only asking the question.

To clarify, my thought was: it is, I am sure, a PITA to do this chore whenever it is going to be done. It would however be quite useful to move that excercise forward (vs. waiting to the last minute) for some of us (in particular, me, US & Canadian SGP competitors). Again, I am only asking the question. I am also very happy to help with this task (or to take it on entirely). Just send us the relevant data and rules. We will have it done, ASAP.

If the WONDERFUL volunteers who have been doing this task are no longer flying contests, I can certainly see this being quite a not mission critical task for them. I can also see why they dont see the urgency. Maybe its time to hand it off to someone who has more interest?

I need the 2016 PRL for 2016 Sailplane Grand Prix USA (www.sgp.aerp/usa2016) pilot qaulification purposes. We are "oversold" in both international and north american pilots. We are limited to 20 pilots total. 5 international pilots and 15 North American. I am going thru the process of finalizing the competitor list. If the SSA PRL is not going to be released, as normal, until sometime next spring...please let us know ASAP. I'll simply have to use last years data (2015 PRL). I only just realized when the PRL is normally released. This is not a major issue, but it may change whether or not some make the final cut. I think it would be better, and fairer to use the current, up to date data for this purpose.

I cant think of many times that the PRL is this useful or important. As far as I know the only other contest that uses it is the Perry regional.

Thanks again for hearing me out. I look forward to some options.

Sincerely,

Sean

Sean, we are in the same position regarding the Nationals at Nephi for 2016.. We will be over subscribed and the pilots would like to know where they sit so they can make appropriate plans. As Hank points out each pilot can do this themselves, the formula is able here http://www.ssa.org/ContestCommittee?show=blog&id=1551

Thanks to JL for everything he does for soaring and the competition pilots throughout the world. Also there are many folks that assist JL and thanks to them also.
