I believe any pilots ability to fly a high score on a consistent basis as a far better judge of his abilities than how many people you happen to beat at a contest.

This would allow the perennial sand bagger to be "forced" to move up and the casual flier or a guy that stays in the middle of the pack to go where his abilities suggest he be.

We can have a forced advancement and a "try out" for advancement I'd think.

Lets at least look at it and debate it and see if it's something we might want to do.

Winning a national championship should equal a forced advancement IMHO. Maybe even the top 3 places.
