Hi Bruce, The International Club Class eligibility list has both a lower and an upper limit. The list on the GFA website means exactly what it says. The intention of Sports Committee is to restrict Club Class to the same performance range as is permitted internationally.
When I created the local list, I only included gliders that appear in our current handicap list, in the interests of simplifying. If there is a glider flying in Australia which is on the International list but not in the current GFA list, it can be added on request. If it is not in the International List, it can't compete in Club Class. The HP14 is not in the International list. Any glider can compete in Sports Class, including gliders in the eligible Club Class list.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] National Championships for 2007/8 I am sure that this is NOT the case. We can accommodate any glider that sits anywhere on the handicap range, and if it does not actually appear on the current list, then all you need do is send a note to Tobi Geiger and we will put it there, then away you go! The intention is to separate gliders above and below the international club class cut-off point, not to keep anyone out of club class simply because their glider has not been handicapped yet.
