2019 SSA handicap list
And no, unless you have a recognized Doctors note, 40 gallons of "drinking water" is not allowed......
Yes, decades ago I asked this (being a skinny f'r.....). ;-) Way back when, flying a light -20 A or C, I was at a disadvantage being light (150lbs in street clothes) against -20 B's and similar on a ridge or good day.

I am significantly lighter than you, Charlie, and I fly a very light glider, thus am about 20% below the max gross. When I flew at the regional contest last year the weather was rather hot and I asked the CD whether the extra water bottle was OK :-) Seriously though, if they apply a correction to my handicap next time, based on my being far below the reference weight, I won't complain.

Yeah, could have........;-).....in theory though, whatever I started flying at weight wise (in a handicapped class) I would always have to fly at.
"Drinking water" may vary based on expected weather for the day.........LOL.......

They should have adjusted your handicap based on flying weight. Some contests use provided weight, some have scales.

Yes, fixed ballast is acceptable in sports class. But you have to fly the same weight every day of the contest.
