Any ideas as to why the very low number of contestants (12) at the recent
Standard Class National Soaring Contest in California?

For some pilots it conflicted with the Word Championships. For me, too
far to travel, uncertain work commitments, and no experience of the
site. I decided to fly Reg 9 and Reg 10 but Reg 10 was canx.

Standard class is a very active in USA and I expect you'll see 50 plus
gliders at Hobbs next year.
