Gordy gets it part right (again). The Hi Johnson trophy is an AMA award for the highest single score at the Soaring Nats. AMA used to run the events with all classes flown each day (you built a 2M, 100" and an unlimited plane every day) and flew a couple rounds of each class daily. This resulted in each class flying the same number of rounds, and the Hi Johnson awarded the single highest point score of the classes.
With the advent of splitting the classes into day slots and the demise of the 100" Standard Class, we are now able to fly more rounds of 2M than Unlimited due to the difference in the number of pilots. LSF approached AMA last week about how to go about changing the criteria for the award to something more in keeping with the original intent of the Hi Johnson trophy. After a short conversation, a process was adopted and I will draft a letter asking to revise the criteria so the award is independent of the number of rounds flown in each class. This was what I meant at the workers banquet when I said Daryl won the last Hi Johnson 2M Award, not that anything was changing as relates to 2M at the Nats.
