FAI (IGC) rules for US Club Class Nationals - Petition
RE IGC rules and scoring for CC
Some things to consider when contemplating using IGC rules for the new Club Class Nationals.
1. Start line procedure - speed control, safety.
2. Finish line- straight in rolling finishes? Good practice for WGC, but is this what we want to do? Does the airport support such finishes?
3. PRL ( pilot ranking list)- pilots flying in CC nats using IGC scores will find they score about 15% less than they did under US rules. This will impact PRL seeding, and possibly the ability to enter oversubscribed contests ( Perry and Seniors.) Small point, but something to be aware of.
