Your idea was in common practice during the early eighties in AMA pattern. I don't think that we have enough people flying SPA contests to further divide up the attendees that do fly. There is nothing wrong with being beaten by a better pilot. Better pilots move up eventually and you, now with more experience under your belt, will be the better pilot in the class. Before you know it, you'll be forced to move up too.
Take advantage of the early contests (for you) to not focus on winning, but in picking up pointers from the better pilots and losing contest nerves. But most of all, enjoy the camaraderie that other pilots will display. Enjoy yourself and have a great time.
