Default OLC Questions

I know its friendly. But I don't think my name would be at the top even with years of flying a JS1/ASG29 in my part of the country (and I'm not trying to take anything away from others above me either for I really don't have enough flights up to compare) And I started out posting my flights just so they are in one place and to use the analysis tools. I'm just saying that the code writers write in the polars of gliders and award points and it seems like they could write code for alt over release divided by distance or something. OLC already knows percentage of pilots flying certain sites. Anyway, I know its a different kind of flying in different conditions and I may not do so well in the booming parts of the country. Probably burn holes in the sky instead of taking off like a bat.

Anyone know how to change the region next to ones name?

You are over thinking this.

OLC isn't a meaningful competition.

It's amusing & fun, but it's simply another game. By all means play if you are so inclined, but don't get fussed about big scores achieved by guys that have access to resources you don't.

We have a friendly little in-region OLC "grudge match" that gets going from time to time. It's great fun. Or it was until I saw one of my friends do something really dumb (300', nowhere to crash) trying to get back on top.... kinda took the fun out of it for me.
