Default Yet more thoughts on Sports/club class

I susspect that anything as obvious as the following has been thought of and
rejected for equally obvious reasons that I'm also not aware of.

Anyway, here goes....

Why not adjust turn area tasks so that turn area diameters are porportional
to a competitors handicap - i.e. small diameter turn areas for high
performance gliders and huge ones for low performance gliders? This would
force the high performance gliders to fly much farther than the low
performance ones to get credit for turnpoints. The idea is a sort of an
elastic "one size fits all" approach to task calling. Of course, this might
require complete rejiggering of an already complex scoring system.
