Handicap Distance Tasks
It's a very interesting idea. A couple of questions.
What are the implications for leeching and does the handicapping account for the fact that this likely makes it easier for lower handicap gliders to hang back a bit and use higher performance gliders as markers throughout the task.
In uniform weather this seems fine, but what about tasks where flying farther requires the higher performance gliders to face blue holes, thunderstorms, getting off convergence lines and the like.
These were questions that were asked of me when I asked some experienced pilots about it and I had no experience from which to provide an answer.
