I am not interested in contest and I do not believe it is in the best interest if the SSA Contest Rules Committee to have yet another class for a Nationals competition. IF this held will take away from folks that would participate in the 2018 Sports Nationals, which are typically dominate by Duo's and Arcus'es?

Oh wait we do not know when or where the 2018 Nationals are being held, how can we plan.

IMO class creep is bad for the competition scene with the SSA. What is next the folks asking for $$ to go to the World 20 Meter competition?

Bif, the best of luck putting this together!
20m two-seater is quite a popular class internationally. It deserves a contest and records. There are about 100 20m two-seaters registered in the USA including Arcus, Duo, ASG32, DG1000. Do you think you can get a quarter of them?

What two-seater flying should be:
Check the spelling, but I think Heinz' first comment after he and Karin did their first Duo flight at Ely was:
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!"

YO, tell us more about the first 11m nationals. Is GBSC hosting? Will it be in February? Perhaps there's less rain then.
