One time at an OVSS contest in Cincy, Rich Burnoski took me from 3rd to 22nd
all in one flight. The last round. I still love MOM. (smile)
But I never forget, and got even at the Gateway open about 3 yrs ago in the
last contest I think I ever flew in. YUP. I still love MOM. Brian

Maybe we should just do politically correct soaring contests and not keep
score, like many kids sports programs these days. We wouldn't want to hurt any
ones feelings, now would we?

===================
Marc is right on. At a "real" contest, this sort of thing is fundamentally
unfair. If everybody launches into the same air and one guy finds the air and
gets max, while 6 out of 7 guys mess up and land early, they have to earn low
scores, in fairness to everybody in the contest. The air was there and they
blew their shot. Setting up some artificial scheme to pardon their failure is
better policy for club contests than for the real thing -- sort of like
allowing free popoffs.
