Problems exist because USA uses a proprietary handicapping system, and a measure of distance used at few if any other places in aviation.

I beg to differ with you on that, Jim. This has NOTHING to do with rules, handicaps, etc. This is all post scoring, where do we store the flight logs and make a link to them rather than a link to a zip file with all the flight logs in it.

Note please that the current US system does exactly what it was tasked to do which is to "promptly" provide all logs in a place where pilot can review their flights or those of their competitors.
The public availability of those files is a useful addition for a few folks. I have, on occasion, looked at one of my flights and did not find it painful, though it was not one click satisfaction.
I wonder how many people want to view these files and whether their interest would justify the time required of a qualified volunteer to take it to another level.

The current system is so easy and quick - I doubt the effort to separate the files would/should/could ever happen.

To be sure - I just checked - it took less than 5 seconds to down load the entire Sports Class nationals files - 40 gliders x 4 days - that's allot of tracks for little investment.

if it takes longer than you are doing something wrong - you just right click on the "Flight Logs" in the results and save the target to your desktop - you get them all fast and easy!!

I suppose that if I'd suggested hamburgers for lunch, there'd be RAS posts here expressing what a waste it would be to suggest someone cook the meat when it is just as nutritious eaten raw.

Or someone will ask why you are eating beef. :-)

Yes, WH, you can get all the files just that quickly. Now go and just as quickly try and get Tony, Tom, and Mark's files from day 3. Takes more than a bit longer, doesn't it? That is what Steve has asked for. Rather than just listing the file name on the scoresheet, make that file name on the scoresheet a link to the file, just like it is on soaringspot. He has politely suggested something for the "improvements" list.

Agree, Hank. It is doing what it had been asked to do. And now, a qualified person can have a look and see what level of effort would be involved in taking it to this next level. It may be a little and it may be a lot. Never know if you don't ask. I would like to see it, as I do tend to go look at my flights compared to others above me on the scoresheet. And even after making my "de-coder sheet", I find that pilots don't always turn in files from the same logger each day, so when you can't find the file you are looking for, you have to go digging again.

Say I'm flying a 3 class contest consisting of 65 gliders and I'd like to retrieve the top 10 scores in my class. It takes more than 5 seconds....
