It is not possible to give "all Sports Class competitors" the option to
use Club Class handicap rules, as many are flying gliders that not
permitted in FAI Club Class. Of course, it seems quite sensible to
calculate a separate score for those who compete in Sports Class using
Club Class ships, and to select the US Club Class Team based only on
Club Class scores...
