* One way to have a contest like this is to form a club called "Three
Hours", have all interested pilots join it, and check out the daily
results for the club.
The results would be handicapped and listed in order of top score for
the day, but unfortunately cumulative scores are another story.
Verification of start and finish within three hours, and ridicule of
the cheaters are other chores. I suppose a designated scorer could
download all the flights and cast the proper spells.
* However, OLC recently added a club league for the Southern
Hemisphere. With the proper persuasion, they may set up what you're
after.
Regarding persuasion, there seems to be no way to donate to OLC (from
USA) on the website this year.
* Bill has brought up a good point. OLC is the best thing for x-c
soaring since P-tubes were invented. This would be a way to include
pilots uncomfortable flying 6+ hours a day, just as handicapping
includes those with less than the latest equipment.
* This brings to mind a sticker that was on Bob Fitch's van:
Old age and treachery shall beat youth and skill.

Thanks for the replys. *It looks like the Canada three hour contest is
very close to what I have in mind. *If a large group would ask for
such a catagory maybe we could get it included in the OLC score sheet.
