The SSA is becoming a responsive, effective organization, particularly
in the person of its SSA-OLC Admin.

Thank you, Doug.

Yes, I think progress and communication are occuring.

Here might be something else to work on: when I look at today's US
results with "all regions", four R8 pilots show in the list; when I
select "R8", only three pilots remain, and Len Edvinson, the leader for
the day, is left off. Is that correct (and why?), or are is there a
problem with region selection?

The problem was that one of the four claimed the flight in Region-1. I
fixed this, so now all four are shown in Region-8.

The region you see in the daily score is the region associated with the
pilot's club. This is just a database schema thing, and I'm sure OLC is
not going to change it this year. All of the OLC's limited resources
are focused on developing the 2007 OLC right now.

P.S. I also made requested corrections in Region-12, and this changed
the standings in many of the top places (but not the leader).

This quirk may be why many pilots didn't enter a region properly. After
all, if the daily score is all you look at, and the region displayed is
always your home region, regardless of what you entered (even if you
entered nothing), you might assume entering a Region value is
irrelevant. I think it's confusing the region shown goes with the pilot
in the daily listings, and goes with the launch point in other listings.

I just filtered on Region 9 for 7/5 and only 3 of the 9 flights posted
happened in Region 9. To be fair, the pilots flying outside the region
are on the road and probably not aware of this thread.
