SSA State & Nat Records Rules Conflict
All -
OK so I've submitted some State Records and there is confusion amongst the people processing the claims... Basically it boils down to a question on how many Records can be claimed in a single flight. Some people are saying that you can only submit 1 Distance and 1 Speed record claimed per Category & Class, per flight. They are pointing to this file: http://www.ssa.org/files/member/NatSTrules.pdf which is shown as a link on the webpage whenever you view a table of State Records. Looks like those records were effective starting in 2005? HOWEVER, the "National & State Rules" PDF on the SSA website (http:// www.ssa.org/files/member/USN&StateRules2010.pdf) seems to permit multiple simultaneous distance records (see section 6.3 and the reference to 6.2). The SSA "Summary of the Sporting Code" (http://www.ssa.org/files/ member/SCsummary09c.pdf) lists NO limitations on claims (see 1.4.1a I think) The SSA Badge & Record Guide () seems to indicate that you can have multiple concurrent distance claims (1.4.5, 1.4.6, 1.4.8, and 1.4.7b [Those last three documents are all on the "Forms" page, under the "Soaring Achievement" area.] And I'll say this: There ARE state records listed where a single pilot's name shows up under multiple distance records on the same date... And I have a hard time believing they all set them by flying multiple times on a single day! So, what's the correct answer - anyone know for sure? Thanks, --Noel |

Have one of these people saying this is not possible point to the exact rule forbidding this. SSA rules 6.2.c and 6.3.b specifically allow this. End of discussion. Pretty hard to see how somebody who has actually read the rules could interpret this in an other way. Darryl |

On the SSA Soaring Achievement page, the top of the RH column lists the committee responsible for content. There's a show members link at the bottom of the first section. When you follow that link, you can e- mail any member, or the entire group. Been trying to have someone in the know to hold a state record keeper webinar for nearly two years per a request. Judy Ruprecht resigned effective the end of June and applicants were being interviewed last I heard. Frank Whiteley |

Frank Whiteley yea there is one bad link to the 2005 rules. I found it this spring when I was applying for some state records and it got me pretty good and confused. I *think* that if you open up the state record matrix from the SSA website and then click to go to the rules from that window it goes to the 2005 rules. |

Frank, there may be something else wrong. Just for curiosity, on the
SSA web site under Home Soaring Achievement US & State Records I checked Pennsylvania, General, and all 4 types sequentially (Distance, Altitude, Out and Return Speed, Triangle Speed). Everything returned a blank table, which I know can't be - Karl Striedieck, Tom Knauff and Doris Grove, among others, have been very active in record setting in PA! -John On Sep 29, 1:01 pm, Frank Whiteley wrote: Bad link has been fixed.
