The concept of applying a hard deck for soaring competition is pure lunacy. Stop trying to pretend competition can be "ruled" free of risk. Or otherwise, lets just give every entrant "first place" like they do in kid's sports..

The undeniable fact of winning races (in any sport) is pushing one's skills and equipment to the limit of their abilities while enjoying a pinch or two of good fortune. By surpassing personal limits, one then enters the "stupid zone" where anything can happen. Is a hard deck limit not an attempt to fix stupid?

Good luck with that.
