A thought about handicapping.......
This idea has great potential - for what I'm not sure.
Done properly, all pilots would get 1,000 points every day and a
championship.
The awards podium would only have to have one level, although it would have
to support 65 pilots (and their trophies).
No more esteem-devastating losses and the requisite trips to the
psychologist's office for mental hand holding.
One type of medallion (gold) would enhance the economics of contests, as
would the ability to preprint the score sheets.
There must be sundry other advantages to this idea that others could point
out to the rules committee. I'm sure they will give them all the
consideration they deserve.

What happens if we handicap pilots instead of aircraft....
Most likely you find that your contest is poorly attended.
