John,
I see what you mean.
I'm not sure why no one ( including me) has submitted a rule change to 
take Sportsman out of the supplemental class. How many years have we 
included Sportsman at most or all local contests? Why do we need a 
designation which defines Sportsman as a class whose only difference is 
that it is specifically excluded from the Nats?
