I support a Club Class National Contest in the US based on the list of
"Club Class" gliders and "handicaps" used at the last Club Class WGC.

I support this in general, but I have these suggestions:

1. *Allow gliders that fall within the performance range of the Club
Class, exist in significant numbers in the country, and are not on the
IGC list (e.g. 1-35).

2. *Use the actual IGC rules for tasking and scoring.

Every other country follows this convention (both 1 and 2, above).
Until USA does this, we will never get on the path of having a
competitive team. *The Sports Class is wonderful, but it isn't the
Club Class.

The Club Class has the potential of becoming the first international
class to hold an international competition in USA.

I support. I would not fly because I no longer own a Club Class glider.
