Default Some observations on the effect of U.S. glider handicaps on SC Nationals

So for the sake of what we do best in soaring...adding
complexity , the algorithm developed for Sports
Class might include:

1.) A weather component factored to reflect how various
ships perform by condition.

2.) A pilot handicap sort of like golf. Factor in
weight of pilot.

3.) A sealed and smoothed component to equalize the
unmaintained birds with those that have been cleaned
up.

4.) Maybe even assign an instrumentation handicap?
Big bonus for flying with sectionals and cameras.

Probably several other items I have overlooked
