Questions on rules that changed this year (2016) in US Soaring
That's too bad, thought the US was moving towards International standards for Club Class.
Doesn't really match the FAI's purpose or only entry requirement of the class.
As if tall juniors were not permitted in Junior contests.

5.5.7 Club Class
The purpose of the Club Class is to preserve the value of older high performance gliders, to provide inexpensive but high quality international championships, and to enable pilots who do not have access to gliders of the highest standard of performance to take part in contests at
the highest levels.
a. ENTRY
The only limitation is that it is within the agreed range of handicap factors
for the competition.
b. BALLAST Disposable ballast is not permitted.
c. SCORING Championship scoring formulas shall include handicap factors.
