It is my understanding that the FAA has agreed _not_ to ramp check at a
contest due to safety issues. Is that not correct, folks?

It does happen but I think it's rare. One year at Hobbs all pilots
were ramp checked for parachute currency. I don't know what, if any,
action was taken aginast those without a current pack. Mine was
current as it always is for the first sanctioned contest of the year.
