Careful with your money John, Woody guys can easily track their scores from the events scorekeeper's posting and keep a separate score sheet for themselves without permission from anyone.
The woody guys could score their event only during the first two days. This would give us Sunday to sit back and relax watching JW and Daryl fight it out for top money. So how large could the Woody only pot become and who would hold the pot money for the two days? Think we could trust Gordy? Not trying to be a trouble maker, just trying to have some fun during my turn on the rock. BTW ... to be an "all out competitor in the spirit of competition" does not require a bagged, molded or store bought sailplane. I think most of us already know who the top pilots (most dedicated to winning) are and who the fodder are. Enjoy.............
