the reality is that the sporting licence is a mechanism for providing
funding to the FAI. The FAI governs all badges, record and competitions -
sets the criteria and awards the international recognition. Their only
source of fnding is an annual fee to each National Aero Club (Australian
Sports Aviation Confederation - ASAC - in Australia) and by an annnual users
fee - the sporting licence.
If you want to claim a record or fly in an FAI sanctioned competition then
you need a sporting licence.
On top of this, if you want to fly in a natioanl competition in Australia
you need your CFI approval to say that you have the basic skills required.
The CFI could approve your sporting licence - which basically says that you
will follow the FAI rules etc - but refuse to sign the competition
endorsement because you haven't demonstrated the required skills.
OK for the CFI to approve him/her self but probably you would ask another
CFI or a level 3 instructor to sign for you

That sounds all great but I am the CFI and I don't have a comp license and
require one. Do I sign my own?

It is where you club CFI sign's his life away on the form on your behalf.
It sometimes becomes a difficult decision for a CFI to assess whether
some-one with no comp experience is capable of flying with 50 plus gliders
in a National Comp as compared to 30 odd gliders in a State comp. Although
to fly at a coaching week with 35 plus gliders does not require a Comp
license.
From the form
CERTIFICATE OF FLYING EXPERIENCE FOR AIR RACING
I consider that the above named applicant has sufficient flying experience
to take part in an air race,
record attempt, certified performance or competition.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Comp licences
I got my licence without prior comp experience, no problem. I assume it is
just a register of who qualifies for the relevant insurances.
Beryl was very helpful and supplied my licence at short notice too.
