Have a look at the US Team Committee web page for a proposal now under
discussion to limit team selection to pilots flying club class gliders
with performance more closely aligned with the European definition of
the class. All gliders could fly the class with a handicap as is done
now but team members would only be selected from those pilots flying a
true Club Class glider. See the US Team Committee
http://www.ssa.org/UsTeam/ust_committee.htm here and look under Special
Reporting for Part 1 & 2 Club Class Team Selection - Ideas for the
Future?

According to the 2006 Sports Class Nationals Rules:


'The purpose of the Sports Class Nationals is to determine
the 2006 Sports Class Champion, and to select team
members for international Club Class competitions'

With most of the gliders at the latest 2006 Nats in
the ASW27/28 & LS-8 range, does it make sense to call
the winner a Sports Class Champion? Does it make sense
to select pilots for international Club Class competitions
from this group?

Inquiring minds and all that .... ;-).
