Just noticed the Region 6 North contest going on at the moment and
wondered how they work the handicaps for a combined 15M $ STD Class
contest. It appears as though all the 15M are handicaped at 1.0 and
the Std at something else. How is it done officially?

5.8.2 ‡ † As an alternative to separate 15-Meter and Standard Classes,
a Combined 15-Meter Class
can be included. To enter this class a sailplane must meet the
requirements for the 15-Meter Class
(Rule 6.12.4). A sailplane that also meets the requirements for
Standard Class (Rule 6.12.5) can
compete in the Combined 15-Meter Class and receive a 2% daily scored
distance bonus.

11.2.3.6 ‡ † For a sailplane competing in a Combined 15-Meter Class
(Rule 5.8.2) that meets the
requirements for Standard Class, scored distance is multiplied by
1.02.
