*A GREAT step forward! Club and Modern are two excellent divisions.
I'm sure 12 Club Class pilots will show up. Reverting the entire
contest to "Modern", *if 12 Modern pilots do not show up, seems
counter productive though.

If 12 sports and 12 modern do not show up, it reverts to traditional sports, not "modern." The big point: we do not send anybody home! *If there is not enough for two classes, we fly in one class. That's why "club" includes lower performance gliders too.
12 pilots was chosen so we know for really sure that 8 will finish with 40% of the winners score.

Ooops! Yes,Traditional Sports. Makes perfect sense. Good going guys.
