The class should never have been started to begin with.

This is the end of gliding. Like doing a sailing race in a motor boat!

Soaring sports destruction mode, full speed. Followed by unending insightful discussions about declining pilots numbers, beautiful and touching memories from the past. Ultimately moving toward simulations and safe virtual reality in the convenience of your home. A fireplace, warm wool socks and the sound of a peaceful music in the background. Possibly 'El Condor Pasa'...

Good thing I didn't take a Sawzall to one of my Zunis to make it into a 13.5 meter racer...

Fine print at the bottom of the document:
Properly equipped 13.5m gliders can still compete in the Cup Holder Class.
