The club class eligibility list seems to include a lot of gliders
that are not on the "Boldface gilders are on the IGC list". *The LS-3
for example is on the eligibility list, is not in boldface. *It looks
to me like that a glider as good as an LS-6C and as bad as a Schreder
HP-15/18 could be used to qualify for the club class team. *Do you
think I understand this correctly??

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".

There was a footnote on the list with the "C's" that said to check
another list on the "Team Site". *Thats where I find the CLUB-CLASS
ELIGIBILITY LIST and that where there is a difference with the IGC
list. *Is it the US Team Committee who makes these rules?
