The topic of US Rules vs FAI/IGC Rules is an ongoing subject. In order to help folks understand more on this topic John Good and I have authored 2 papers discussing the topic.
This is melded into one presentation that is on the SSA web site in the area of Contest rules and process- Important reading.
There is a lot to read and digest.
