Interesting question. The AMA gives CDs broad powers to waive rules as 
they see fit, but those usually pertain to the safe operation of a 
contest. The caveat is that the CD must publish any variations within 30 
days of the event and it is best to list them in the sanction 
application. Changes can be made on the spot due to weather, etc., but 
it would be hard to see how advancement fits into that. So I suspect 
taht it would be difficult for a CD to do waht you suggest. What a CD 
could do I suppose is to allow a certain individual to fly a lower 
class, but again, that might be a stretch.
