I am very much in favor of the U.S. club class and have flown both that

Yes, and did very well, too.

As the Organizer of the two Club Class events, I have to put my thoughts in.
We should do away with the rule about prior US Team members being
ineligible. A World Champion is, after all, just that. So we need to send
our best pilots. We should not eliminate those of already proven ability.
But they need to know the nuances of flying the now medium performance
gliders, and the "tweaking" thereof. So they should have to win flying Club
Class gliders.

So--the Sports Class can be the "for fun" class. Club Class can be the
"serious" class.

I would favor that approach. A combined Sports/Club Nationals could be
viable.
