Default Death of the 13.5m class?

For the 2019 13.5m WGC, all gliders participating will be required to have electric motors and be capable of self launching. Potentially being allowed to use some of the electric energy in flight will lead to some interesting tasking and flights I think. I would not consider it to be "Soaring" though.
