I beg to differ with you on that, Jim. This has NOTHING to do with rules, handicaps, etc. This is all post scoring, where do we store the flight logs and make a link to them rather than a link to a zip file with all the flight logs in it.

As I understand it the current US scoring software doesn't have any automation in place to sort IGC files and allow easy posting with pilot ID correlated to IGC file. Contest staff is usually running full bore just to keep things on track and don't have time to do anything extra.

This year I was just hoping to have IGC files sorted by class at a national event and was told (rightly) that I could take care of it myself if I wanted, but there was no bandwidth available for contest staff to do that.

I agree with Steve K that it would be really nice, but I don't have time or native skills to write up the coding to make that happen.

A hearty thanks to those who've devoted time and skills to developing the code we have. It's not perfect, but it has been getting better and better.

The Soaring Spot question is really about rules and probably belongs in a different discussion.
