Good point, but then, one can get ranked pretty high in the "all
flights" category by simply making a sled ride everyday ;-)

the idea behind the 50 point rule is that you should not be able to get
points by doing a sledride from that altitude.

On the other hand, I don't see any harm from giving points for sledrides
-- top pilots like Ramy do not have to worry about competition from
pilots doing sledrides. *I don't know why the OLC doesn't give points
for all flights, of whatever length.

I think 50 points is very reasonable if not too low. This translates
to 6 legs of 10km or less. Anything less than that can not be
considered a cross country flight, just a local flight.

It's been like that - not easy for us in North America - for a couple
of years - 18 Oct 2007, I believe. If you contact Doug Haluza, SSA-OLC
Admin, he can add the flight - you can look him up on the SSA member
locator.

I just cross-checked with the ssa webpage under sailplane racing -
olc, and it says: For help with submitting a claim contact us at
. *They are very responsive.

My personal pet peeve is the minimum 50 point score for a flight that
counts - I think 25 is more reasonable, and leads more people away
from their home field... then they're competing with themselves to
increase the score. *Darn hard to tell someone a 47 point flight just
doesn't count....
