Tom, Tom, Tom,
I don't know where to start with all that.

What do I tell my insurance company after picking a fantastic looking
field, landing, and hitting a single hidden obstacle that damages the
glider? What do I tell my fellow pilots as their insurance premiums
go up?


You tell them (insurance company & fellow pilots) the SAME thing the
non-motored pilot tels then. I screwed up! My proposal doesn't MAKE you land in
a field, land at an airport, start your engine if you wish, my proposal ONLY
makes the score fair and EQUAL for all contestants.

Let's all agree that a contestant may ask the CD to examine the trace
of another competitor due to a percieved 'unsafe' action. A panel of
judges will play back the trace and the pilot will justify any


I can't believe you think something like that would work. The people that run
our contests are busy folks, every night they must deal with a whole bunch of
problems. XX busted the start altitude, what's his penalty?, lets look at the
trace. XA started his engine, get his trace up here, NK & JJ haven't beed heard
from, it's 8:00 PM, Lets launch Minden Air. The computer called this a 1000
point day, won't be when,and if we ever find the guys that haven't reported in
yet. And so it goes, every night. And NOW you would like to hold a Mini Grand
Jury at each pilots meeting? Who's the Judge going to be? The CD, he doesn't
have that authority, That's why we have very specific RULES and the CD in in
charge of following them (To the letter)
