Default Not really Comparable

Pattern and TOC is about as similar as Formual One racing and "World of Outlaws". They use airplanes, engines, and radios, and fly vaguely similar maneuvers, but the similarities end there, for sure!

And - Pattern competition is more like Olympic Figure skating, without the "free program"....it's just ALL compulsories. About the same degree of judging complexity and variation, and in the upper divisions, about the same chance of a "no name" coming out on top.

Maybe you should include that as a vote option....
