Traditionally, Horsham Week has been an entry level comp with pilots
required to nominate 3 flying days in advance to allow sharing of a glider
for the 8 days. The idea was to attract beginner-pilots to share a club
glider and compete against all levels of pilots, up to international
standard. For the record, 2014 Horsham Week was scored to new rules.  Local
Rules (published Dec 13) included the usual: All scoring days will attract
1000 points. This was rescinded at briefing on day one resulting in 3
devalued days in 15m (882, 979, 612) and Open (707, 893, 600) and 2 in Club
(821, 600) and Std (882, 612). A pilot who pre-nominated the
subsequently-devalued days was therefore disadvantaged, contrary to the
spirit of Horsham Week.
