I support these ideas.   It could be the specific numbers would need adjustment as we get experience with them..

Our noise rule specifies a percent handicap and works well.

This way if comes to an event with an overweight or oversize or loud airplane they get a 2% score penalty and aren't told to go home.

In an effort to reduce that anxiety I am thinking about proposing a bonus to raw scores for Sportsman and Intermediate based on wing span. Planes with a span under 55" would receive a 4% bonus and under span 65" would receive a 2% bonus. It should be possible to input this during registration to automate the process.
