Hi all, The current GFA handicap committee consists of Tobi Geiger, Bruce Taylor, Shinzo Takizawa, and ( I think) Hank Kauffmann. No doubt you could approach any or all of those guys for their views, and judging by recent comments here some of you could perhaps offer your services to improve their understanding of polar curves, competition gliding and, (I seem to recall) their quota of common sense :)
On the subject of re-scoring competitions under other scoring systems and handicaps, this suggestion makes the rather large assumption that people would all fly the same if their handicaps (and therefore day to day scores) were different. Certainly it is not something I would waste my time on. Cheers Tim Adam Woolley wrote: > Yo Jim, > > Good point mate re: the OLC handicaps, why not adopt them?
