A Canadian, or any nationality , will claim a USA flight to the USA
contest, and in the region flown. You always claim to the country where
the flight occured. And in the region for the takeoff point.

All contest results can be filtered on 'region'.

In Canada, the region 'contest' is really the important one, as the
best flights are always in the Rockies. So to win Canada, you MUST fly
out of Invermere or close by. This is a long drive and very expensive
from eastern Canada. So winning your province is much more of an
appropriate challenge. I would assume the USA regions have a similar
issue..

Anyway, it seems obvious that 'region' is where the flight took place.
But, that said, I guess anyone can get confused. My guess is they will
add a few words in the rules.

The OLC complaint process did seem to identify the issue.. claimed in
wrong region.

Very well put. Thanks for the "outside perspective." Yes the situation
in the US is similar, but it is not so black-and-white. Still the
regions do level the field somewhat.

The SSA Region information is now up on the SSA-OLC Info page as well:
