No it only makes sense to add the class to make the flow from bottom to top more linear than exponential.
A good point system will also force those that need to move up do so and allow those that are not ready to stay put.
The thought of spending 4-6 years flying getting to Masters then 20 years of Masters doesn't seem apealing to me.
Hmmm, I've been flying Masters about 17 years now. I still find it just as challenging today as it was 17 years ago. Never won a Nats trophy. Never made a finals. Never dominated the class on the District level. Just happy to be competitive.
