So why don't you use the GFA Club Class National Championship Rules, which don't 
mandate data loggers or fixed courses (but do mandate competition licenses), make no 
mention of launch methods, and are handicapped so our impoverished Suthern Cousins are 
not disadvantaged when flying their outmoded aircraft (tongue in cheek for the last 
part 8)

that we REALLY need separate rules for each state ?


The division of Australia into wealthier and poorer states has resulted in
the need for flexibility in any overarching rules so that the appropriate
mix of rules are available to suit local circumstance.

For example, South Australia has 3 pilots capable of fielding current
generation racing gliders, and 1 club capable of doing so.
These tend to go to state contests elsewhere and the nationals because there
they can compete with similar technology which is more numerous and more
geographically clustered together in some other states.
Meanwhile, there are a number of junior and impecunious pilots (about 20 we
think) driving outdated stuff who form the core of competition in South
Australia, who therefore appreciate rules which don't mandate competitor's
license, IGC approved loggers, or fixed courses. And possibly even permit
winch launching in the contest format.
