US Handicap Weight Adjustment White Paper
A new file has been placed in the Contest Rules and Process section of the SSA web site describing the study of the effect of flying weight on handicaps.
It shows the basis for the recently proposed rules change that will be effective in 2019. It may be found at the top of the listing under important reading. Thanks to Andy Blackburn for many hours on this project. For the Handicap Subcommittee UH |

Thanks to Andy Blackburn for many hours on this project. For the Handicap Subcommittee UH If we are going to go to this direction what about also Windicapping? You can read all the igc files for the hours of the competition and figure out what the average wind speed was. Measured data are better than predictions. avg climb rates and or avg L/D is computable also. The white paper on the weight adjustment looks like a step in the right direction. Chris |
