Unfortunately most people never see F3b or only see some small part of it and draw conclusions that are not always correct.
There is one side of the story none of us has expressed. That's the opinion of joe average pilot who knows they probably won't win, but keeps coming out anyway. I'm glad they're out there, because without them, what would be left.... And sadly, the numbers of averate sailplane pilots are not growing. They're going off and flying electrics.
Everyone get out their copy of the AMA rulebooks. There are other tasks listed in there. Remember 2 minute precision, that nasty bellcurve on the points. T3, T5
You can also find speed T8 and distance T7 tasks in the AMA rules.

See you some day.....
