Why is everyone focused on the wrong end of this subject? Why are you
focused on a nationals/team selection discussion when the club class
is still practically only a concept in the US at this point? It's like
you want to have the super bowl without the regular season and
playoffs to determine who plays in it.


Not to negate the necessity to grow participation in national contests
but this is what is stated in 1.1 of the Sports Class Nationals rules:


1.1 â€* The purpose of a National Sport Class Soaring Championship is to
determine a National Sport Class Champion and to measure the
performance of all entrants. Performance in Nationals will be used to
provide a basis for pilots to qualify for entry into future soaring
Championships and to select pilots for the U.S. Team in International
Club Class Competition.


Bringing in new pilots should start at the regional, not national
level where the main purpose is to determine the annual Champion and
US Team selection.
