This is all pretty interesting. From my perspective, I didn't  really care who beat me when I was in intermediate or advanced. I just knew that I was seeing the skill level necessary to win. While it's nice to win a trophy in the lower classes, I understood I wasn't competing against the best pilots anyway.  From what I've seen there is a huge variation of talent within a class anyway. I've seen Masters pilots fly that wouldn't win in advanced if they bumped back down (maybe not even in intermediate). People move up for all kinds of reasons unrelated to skill level.  It's also interesting that we talk about using each class to improve our flying until we get to Masters, then it appears nobody wants to improve to FAI.
