Hi Robert, It appears that Ivan Teese has been given a .89 handicap ( LS8-18 ) instead of .92 ( LS8 ) - this will affect the overall score considerably, probably placing him 2nd outright - can you look into this and amend, as a matter of history .

True - but this is a fun comp and having a third class (we already have two, with the club two seaters) increases the scorer workload and as such I would oppose it. At the national club class, the same handicaps are used as we used at Chinchilla ... and if we start splitting off the 18m and open class gliders, then we are getting into an FAI handicapped multiclass comp (but without water as the Easter Comp is traditionally dry). WRT 'big wing' gliders, it's worth noting that a Nimbus 4 DM, Nimbus 2c (not Alice), DG 500 and two Duo Discus gliders flew - but did _not_ win. I think Bruce Taylor's win is more a case of a very good pilot, in good form who is well suited to his aircraft, rather than simply a case of poor handicapping or other big wing advantages. At the CC nationals, I have heard people talking about borring a Libelle rather than flying their 'big wing' in order to have a better chance of winning - so it seems there are issues on both sides of the handicapping fence! -- Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strategic IT & open source consulting +61 (0)438 385 533 Brisbane, Australia http://www.interweft.com.au _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
