What happens if we handicap pilots instead of aircraft.....


Suggest you first define the objective of flying in a contest.

If the objective is to make it likely that all pilots have the same
score each day then you could divide up the points by email and cut
out the cost of travel and tows.


And yet that same system hasn't exactly killed golf. Then again when
they play for the money, Tiger Woods doesn't play with a handicap
number.
