Ah, one of my fav topix.

I lean with Bullwinkle on this one. I only agree with the Super
Regional to a certain degree from an organizer's point of view; were I
the organizer, I would want some leeway in the type of contest I was
going to have.

But it's an SSA sanctioned *regional* contest. That means something.
Getting sanctioning means you have to satisfy someone else's
requirements first, then do your own thing. The medals awarded at the
end will still say "Region 9", not "Super Region 9".

Maybe they should sanction/approve a "Super" regional only after a non-
Super regional has already been scheduled in the same region. Even if
I had a single-digit national pilot ranking, it should not be an
automatic ticket to fly in every contest I like.
