History of Contest Scoring

We just had a long thread about this involving both theory and
experience from the Canadian nationals, the conclusion of which was
pretty much that handling landouts is an usolved problem. Let's not
start again without explaining how this fatal flaw will be solved.

Please tell us what your Canadian experience is.
In my relative short time flying contests, most of which was flown
in the US, I thought that the US system was the way to go.
But in recent years the relative new Canadian way of flying contests
caught my attention and I like it.
It is flexible relative easy for the CD to administer.
it combines a number of task elements which the AST and the PST
advocates like, it leave a lot of room for the more aggressive competitor.
It can be used in a sports class setting as well, with a relative wide
handicap spread.
Landouts are reduced too.
