FAI (IGC) rules for US Club Class Nationals - Petition
Can somebody explain why on earth our highest ranking pilots are barred from competition in the 2013 Argentina WGC?? Not sure what you mean by this...... John Cochrane I understand the rules which prohibit a pilot like Doug Jacobs to compete in WGC 2013 in Argentina. My question to all reading this forum is why we're these rules created? What's the reason for this rule to prohibit a pilot like Doug Jacobs to compete in a club class world championship? Just curious of the history behind how this came about. |

Scott,
Please read Hank's earlier post. He explains why the CC selection was limited in the past. The experiment is over and now anyone can qualify. DJ has not moved up to a CC aircraft, so he can not qualify.

Link to petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/262/8...out-exception/ Sean Franke US Club Class Team Member Sean, how are you proposing to score these contests? Are you going to use SeeYou? Ron Gleason SeeYou is popular and works well. I propose using SeeYou unless a better solution is brought up. Sean Franke Hate to dive deep into details since this is a theoretical discussion but will the SSA have to approve the SeeYou scoring script you will use? Or will you use 'default' SeeYou Competition scoring parameters? Do you have people and/or resources identified that are able to use SeeYou for scoring? Sorry but devil is in the detail(s). Ron Gleason Do you see any reason the SSA won't approve? Unseen problems? Sean Franke Other than the 1-26 class I not sure how the SSA RC has allowed anything other than Winscore in the past. I see no problems using SeeYou Competition, like any scoring program you need experience with it. There are a number of 'administrative' steps that become manual with SeeYou. |

The SeeYou scoring module very easy to use with FAI rules. SeeYou was highly successfully when used by the American scorers during the 2012 World Championship in Uvalde this [ast summer. They all had minimal previous experience with it. I am sure other scorer's could pick it up just as easily. SeeYou is good software, well supported by Naviteer and used by many major contests worldwide. Utilizing this software for the 2013 US FAI Club Class Nationals would be plug and play simple. My wife is excellent with both SeeYou and WinScore. She would be happy to help score (or fully score) for the contests I attend in 2013. I am also willing to train via GoToMeeting anytime...

Ron,
Thanks for clarifying. I was not aware of previous experience unless perhaps you are referring to the Pre-Worlds in Uvalde the year before. May I ask you to further clarify this "much" experience with See You Competition (with US Scorer's) prior to this summers World Championship in the USA. Please be specific and list what competitions you or others have scored using SeeYou Comp (I am assuming you mean in the USA?). Could you expound on what that experience was like in terms of learning curve, ease of use, etc. How would you review your experience using SeeYou Competition at the World Championships with this previous experience? Was it reasonably easy to use? Was it unusable? How does it compare to Winscore?
