Couldn't a pilot just have 2 Flarms, 1 to turn stealth mode logs in
with and a separate one to leach with?

You can always try to sneak prohibited equipment into your glider in a
contest - like an artificial horizon, XM radio weather, etc. Be
prepared to get penalized if you get caught.

I do wonder whether contest rules eventually will require pilots to
disable ADS-B receivers that don't have a contest mode - or will just
accept the leeching, "heads-down" and stealth (turning off your ADS-B
transmitter) behavior that would result from broad adoption of
technology that lacks a contest mode.

Another argument in favor of PowerFlarm for competition flying.
