The annual pilot poll for the US contest rules is open athttp://adamsfive.com/survey/surveys.php

The poll is open to pilots on the SSA pilot ranking list and closes on Nov
14.

The Rules Committee relies heavily on the poll input to steer the Rules
making process, so please give us your input.

Ken,
Last year pilot pool results were ignored by Rules Committee.(what
gliders can fly for club class qualification)

You could not be more incorrect.
#1 US Team qualification process is determined by the US Team
Committee which uses the rules poll to gather input. Possibly this is
not
clear to you. Rules Committed does not determine this.
#2 Any such change is a major change and both committees use a cycle
of about 2 years so people are not caught by surprise.
#3 Recently announced changes limit team selection to a range of
gliders
consistent with the Club Class. See The US Team web site for more
info
on this.
You sat in on the presentation in Caesar Creek in which this process
was
explained and the pending changes were described. The USTC has
continued on course as described by Dan Cole.
