style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I believe a
better system would be some sort of handicap or adjustment multiplier based on a
running average of recant contest averages. This would level the playing field
for all competitors with at least some competition history. Any flight slightly
above one's average would put him or her in contention. I'd given this some
thought years ago and feel this type of system could actually replace
individual class awards. This would make it a contest rather than a by-class competition.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=EmailStyle24><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We all
would be competing with each other based on our demonstrated average ability.
The competitors improving their flight scores would place high as well as
adjusting their handicap multiplier prior to the next contest they attend. An insensitive
to continuously improve as well as a need to do so!<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=EmailStyle24><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Changing
class probably needs to restart one's running average and associated multiplier.
This type of an adjustment number could follow one's ability change either up
or down.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=EmailStyle24><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Yes there
would still be inequities such as new sequences or weather related scores
affecting our demonstrated average for all rounds flown over say the past 2, 3
or 4 contests based on all rounds finished. Partial flights or missed rounds probably
shouldn't be considered in a competitor's running average. <span

number crunching if one's current contest average of say 87% / <b><span

ability average of say 85% - <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>.</span></b>85 their

first is old guys don’t fly as well as not so old guys. I think there
should be a senior division that starts at a senior age like 65, maybe even
70. This would allow all the old guys to compete against each other

second issue is that in District 8 there are contests where a pilot may be the

color:black'>The mechanics of this program are very straight forward. First
off, IMAC uses age 55 or older as their cutoff (I think that pretty much
includes all of us). In a nutshell, what they do is use the “percentage of possible
points” per round compared to all other competitors’ scores. By doing this, you
are competing with all other contestants, regardless of their class. So in
other words, if a Sportsman flew a round and received 75% of the total points
available for that class, he would finish higher versus a Master’s pilot
scoring 74% of the total points available.</span></font><font color=black><span
