All Soaring Participants

With less sarcasm (which I appreciate :-) I agree with Evan's
point. Sports class is about as inclusive as it can get.

To start flying at contests, you need.
1) To be able to safely fly XC.
2) And a basic understanding of about 10% of the rules, which tell
you how to safely launch, start, finish and land.

That's about all you need to start, the rest can come later if you
want to win.

Changing the scoring or tasking rules, or even the classes wouldn't
make any difference to somebody new to contests.

The SRA poll is about the arcane details about glider contest rules.
Newbies who haven't flown a contest won't have much insight on these
details.
