Here's an extreme (very unlike me to take the extreme view). If the goal is to increase FAI participation then why not simply propose an Urgent Rules Proposal to the Soaring Contest Board to eliminate all other parts of soaring from the rules and replace them with the FAI events. If people have no other choice, then they will either start flying FAI or go do something else. That way we don't have to worry about how many are flying what event at the NATs. FAI will be all there is, end of problem.
