Default Club Class Eligibility List

I think you understand it. The US defined a range that we say "Fly
this in Sports Class, and you can be eligible for Club Class World
Team Seeding." And then they also show what planes are allowed in the
Club Class World Championships. There may be some omissions, but I
think they are not intentional.

Lowest performance (highest US Handicap number) I see on our Club
Class Eligibility list (noted with the "C") is the Austria SH-1 at
1.115. Even though there are some at 1.11 that do not have the "C".
Highest looks to be, as you mentioned, the LS-6 at .898 . And some
at .900 that do not have the "C".
