What about embedding the "club class" within our larger sports class?
Use the IGC racing rules so we are preparing for international
contests, but run two scores in parallel. *Only count the club class
results towards US team standing. *That way, if you want to race,
bring anything you can get your hands on. *But if you are serious
about the club class, get a club class ship and race it.

That's what we have now. Only gliders on the US team list -- roughly
coincident with the IGC list -- count for US team selection, and the
tasking guidelines focus on club gliders. The "club class" issue is
whether we create a new class where non-qualifying gliders can't even
participate. (We don't use IGC rules in any US class, for lots of
good reasons -- read the IGC rules and it will be clear.)
