Have a look through:

Using Australia as an example is pretty simple, as the documentation
is easy to find and in a familiar language to many.

Hmm, that's interesting. How does WGC selection work in Australia

both a Sports and Club class nationals? Is the Sports class just a
"dead end"
that doesn't feed a WGC team (like it is at the moment in the US)?

Matt's question is directly answered from the Team Selection document
http://www.gfa.org.au/imis15/GFA/Spo...Selection.aspx

In particular, this quote directly answers his question:
""Class" in this document refers to Open Class, 18m Class, 15m Class,
Standard Class or Club Class. Pilots in Sports Class may use these
results as their 40% score only if they do not have another eligible
result to use, regardless of which score is higher."

In other words, Sports class comps are pretty well just for fun. Club
Class leads to WGC selection.
