Then I think it is a fair time to comment on the handicapping that was

used, particularly as applied to 15m class:



For example on 2013-12-16:



ASW 20 03:24:39 111.5km/h 380.4km 1000

ASW 27 03:05:24 123.1km/h 380.4km 910



The ASW 27 is 12km/h faster than the ASW 20 but it is scored 900 points

less. How fast does the '27 driver have to go before he can get 1000

points too?

So... the ASW-20 is presumed to be flying with at least two controls disconnected a large chunk out of one wing and the gear down?

It does seem a bit... bizarre. By US (mixed class handicap) rules, those speeds would have the 27 pilot winning, 20 pilot getting about 940 pts. By US 15m rules the 20 pilot gets 906 pts (no handicapping).
