So you do a deal to buy a car of certain specifications, pay the
money and find on the delivery date the diesel you ordered is a
petrol and the colour which you specifically chose is not available
and the car in front of you is some other colour and if you complain
you are told to build your own if you don't like it?
There's an interesting thread on r.a.s. at the moment about the
California City soaring operation closing down which you might like
to read. Also by co-incidence Karl Denninger this morning has a
little story about the scuba diving industry in the US.

There may be some lessons here.

The Horsham Week competition is run by the pilots themselves. They
set the rules. I expect that the GFA guidelines are
respected. However the pilots can replace the scorer, if they re
not happy. Only problem is getting a volunteer to take on the job.
First to complain about some else is doing their job nominates them self.

My understanding is that on day one of the contest, without
warning, the CD announced that the Scorer was only interested in
scoring according to Australian National rules, or was not prepared
to score the contest. It seems the pilots acceded to this
ultimatum, thus raising the spectre of duress.
I am curious whether this denial of natural justice is a modern GFA
interpretation of that doctrine, or, has it been ever thus in gliding contests?

Traditionally, Horsham Week has been an entry level comp with
pilots required to nominate 3 flying days in advance to allow
sharing of a glider for the 8 days. The idea was to attract
beginner-pilots to share a club glider and compete against all
levels of pilots, up to international standard. For the record,
2014 Horsham Week was scored to new rules. Local Rules (published
Dec 13) included the usual: All scoring days will attract 1000
points. This was rescinded at briefing on day one resulting in 3
devalued days in 15m (882, 979, 612) and Open (707, 893, 600) and 2
in Club (821, 600) and Std (882, 612). A pilot who pre-nominated
the subsequently-devalued days was therefore disadvantaged,
contrary to the spirit of Horsham Week.
