Yes, Thanks!

Always interesting to read through the comments as it increases my
perspective on how other contest pilots think. Regarding:

---
52. 13.5 M class. KM/F Pin 3/21, KM 4/5, QT/BB 4/6, Poll
* Rule Change: Drop PW5 class (FAI has dropped as of 2014). Due to
inadequate
participation.
Allow 13.5 M class by waiver for 2012 in Regionals or SuperRegionals.
This is
an experiment. Suggestions from the 2012 organizer is welcome.
Handicapped.
No water ballast.

I assume that means that the 13.5m "nationals" being advertised in
conjunction with the 1-26 championships next year at TSA will really
be flown under regional rules? That could be a good thing actually
for participation since no pilot ranking would be required to enter
and team flying would be allowed (both quite possible for 1-26
championship entrants). Yea yea I know, wait until the rules are
published.

At least TA won't have to worry about beating me next year
