Hi Mike,
Your generic points about file editing are perfectly correct, and
there's certainly nothing wrong with a general discussion about how to
make an airspace file or files that everyone can live with. I make
similar files quite regularly and I am in agreement that the smaller the
file, the better.
However, the existing files are fixed in the rules for Narromine. Since
the scorer can only use the files specified in the rules, the danger for
anyone using a different and unofficial file in their PDA will be the
possibility of getting penalties due to something important accidentally
disappearing in the editing.
The problem with this forum is that while many of the Narromine entrants
and organisers will be reading this, there will also be many who are
not, and no one knows which ones. So it is not quite correct to say
that "everyone" knows about this concern now. This is why I suggest
going direct to the organisers. Anyone can edit the files, but only the
the organisers can change them on an official basis and make sure every
entrant (and the scorer) gets an identical copy. That remains my
recommendation.
Cheers

It seems a bit odd to be raising a concern on aus-soaring that is
specific to one competition . The only people who can do anything
about it (should anything need to be done about it) are the CD or
perhaps other officials of the competition, who may or may not read
this forum. The relevant files are referenced in the local rules of
the event and so can only be changed by officials. It isn't a democracy.
Can I suggest it be taken off-list and directly with them?
Cheers

Why? This could arise at any contest and now everyone is aware of it.
We could have one person edit the databases for the contest or every
single pilot gets to do it.
Try to think before hitting send. I know it hurts but try to make the
effort.
