Default Club Class vs. Sports Class


Oh, you want a practical answer ? Didn't know that ;-) My practical
answer is to leave the system alone :-) I have fun at the
contests. A club class score done "on the side" within sports might
be interesting, but the scorer already has enough work. We don't have
the number of participants to really split the class.


There are 2 conflicting desires he Inclusiveness vs Fair
scoring

Fair scoring requires limiting the types of glider so that the
handicap spread is small. Inclusiveness would allow any glider in
sports class.

The only real solution will be to double/triple the number of contest
glider pilots in the US. Then we can split the classes and have
enough people. No change to the racing rules will fix that issue.
