The U.S. is moving towards recognizing the Club Class in 2013. A poll has been created to validate interest in establishing FAI (IGC) rules / tasking philosophy in this new class. If approved the U.S. Club Class would be the ONLY U.S. racing class under FAI (IGC) racing rules.
































































Please sign the petition IF YOU are interested in supporting or flying US Club Class under FAI (IGC) rules / tasking philosophy.
































































In the optional personal comment section please enter (if applicable):
































1. Your position on the US seeding list.
































2. If you have access to or own a Club Class glider, what type.

Sean, how are you proposing to score these contests? Are you going to use SeeYou?
































Ron Gleason
















SeeYou is popular and works well. I propose using SeeYou unless a better solution is brought up.
















Sean Franke








Hate to dive deep into details since this is a theoretical discussion but will the SSA have to approve the SeeYou scoring script you will use? Or will you use 'default' SeeYou Competition scoring parameters? Do you have people and/or resources identified that are able to use SeeYou for scoring?








Sorry but devil is in the detail(s).








Ron Gleason




Do you see any reason the SSA won't approve? Unseen problems?



Sean Franke


Other than the 1-26 class I not sure how the SSA RC has allowed anything other than Winscore in the past. I see no problems using SeeYou Competition, like any scoring program you need experience with it. There are a number of 'administrative' steps that become manual with SeeYou.
