We could stop wasting lots of time and effort and argument developing and maintaining our own unique US sailplane competition rules (which isolate us from the rest of the world at all levels) and adopt IGC rules. :-)

Or perhaps we make slight modifications to IGC rules rather than developing our own rules. There is no way to be successful at both things.

At an absolute minimum. All US nationals MUST BE IGC RULES. Are we a serious soaring country or a soaring vacation country?

Everyone means well...but the writing is clearly written on the wall...

Did you notice the size of the turn areas on the AAT tasks at the Junior Worlds, Sean? Just curious. Sometimes 10 KM, but often 30 and as much as 40 KM RADIUS! Gasp! Soaring Vacation, indeed!
