Mr. Ray Galloway (P1) asked for me to post the following note:
There has been much discussion over the differences between the FAI rules and the US rules. This is partly due to the fact that the US is the only country that does not follow FAI rules.
At the 1985 WGC the US team was among the top contenders. In 2010 WGC, the last year that figures are available, we were 23 out of 24. In 25 years we have gone from near the top to next to last.
There is one indisputable fact---they are wining and we are losing. Maybe we should consider joining the rest of the world.
Thanks for any help.
Actually we were 13th out of 20 teams at Uvalde in 2012. Yes, we have a long way to go.

We have to wait for the conclusion of the WGC at Chaves and combine it with Uvalde before we know the team standing for WGC 2012/2013. Good too hear from you.
