Glad to see someone experimenting with "drop a day". I'll be curious
to see if it creates a "go for broke" attitude on the last day for
pilots who have had a consistent performance up until then.

Also, I'm trying to remember how the rule works versus the minimum
number of days required for an official contest. Do you have to have
one additional day in the bag to allow for the drops?

No. It only starts kicking in once you have an official contest. I'm
also very curious to see how it comes out, and gratified to see two
contests already trying a mixed FAI class.
