What is the penalty for unsportsman like conduct?

How do you prove it?


Its nice to see that someone is finally taking advantage of a rule
that was written to encourage more participation in the sport.


We already have a rule permitting use of non-approved production flight
recorders and handheld GPS devices. As scorer, if I have questions as
to what is going on with one of these devices, I can request the pilot
provide the unit to me for examination and download using software I
obtain from a verifiable source. With the proposed rule, it will now be
possible for a pilot to supply an IGC file for which no alternative
means of verification exists. I suppose this will encourage some
additional participation, I'm just not sure it's all going to be the
kind we want...
