Follow up from another thread:

All:

Under the presumption that a legitimate purpose of this forum is to
pass along pertinent information relating to the art and science of
soaring,

and realizing that the pursuit and achievement of badges and records
is thereto related,

I offer for your consideration Item 5 of the 2009 edition of the RULES
FOR U.S. NATIONAL AND SSA STATE SOARING RECORDS form found at:

http://www.ssa.org/files/member/US&StRULES2009.pdf

which states:

5. US National & State Record Types: Except as noted below, each
record TYPE is available in any combination of Category and Class...

[except]

ALTITUDE
Reference; Type

1.4.2(a); Absolute Altitude
1.4.2(b); Altitude Gain

Available only in these
Categories & Classes:

Open Class General
Open Class Feminine

.................................................. .......................................

So when it comes to State and National altitude records,

no matter what class glider we may fly,
we are all considered either

OPEN Class-GENERAL Category
or
OPEN Class-Feminine Category.

Note: There is no "Junior" Category for altitude records.

Also, per the same SSA Form (per the FAI rules),
it is interesting to note there is no "Feminine" Category for STANDARD
Class.

'dem's da rules!
