US SSA-OLC League new for Summer 2006 Season!

Hi,

That time of year may offer great soaring where you are, but it doesn't for
all parts of the US. It would be a disadvantage for clubs in the more
northern climates if the contest went longer because you would be flying
long flights and we would be doing glides. I think the idea was to select a
period of the season when the soaring is good in most of the USA. I suppose
the folks from Alaska would argue that the season should be shorter!

Ending the Summer Contest September 3 excludes the summer days that are
always the best soaring days is South Texas. For example, last year
two PW 5s got diamond goals, and the club's longes flight and 6 US
Records flights took place after September 3rd.

Why does the OTC end the contest before the official beginning of Fall?
Eliminating the final days of summer is very discouraging to clubs
like mine.
