The proposed CIVL rule for the upcoming Worlds:

5- Eligibility to compete

Defined according to S7A 3.4. For WPRS points, the applicable period is April 1,
2011 to April 1, 2014. For participation in a competition with at least 30
pilots the applicable period is June 1, 2011 to April 1, 2014.

Exception to eligibility to compete

For the Sport Class, exceptions will be granted to pilots having finished in the
top 2/3 of any Category 2 event with at least 30 pilots flying in Class 1, 5 and
Sport (as joint event or separately). The applicable period is June 1, 2011 to
April 1, 2014.

Stephane Malbos, CIVL vice-president, wrote:

Just thirty pilots flying, any class mixed up, we want pilots who
know gaggles. You've been in such a comp, you finished top 2/3 overall, you are
in

I pointed out to Stephane:

"finished top 2/3 overall"

This makes no sense at all. When we hold a competition that includes sport and
open classes they fly different tasks and are scored as completely separate
competitions. You can’t compare the finish of the sport class pilots and the
open class pilots as they are flying different competitions, even though the
competitions are taking place at the same time and in the same place.

CIVL is fixing the language (I hope).

My fix:

"For the Sport Class, exceptions will be automatically granted to pilots having
participated in any Category 2 event with at least 30 pilots total flying in
Class 1, 5 and/or Sport class combined, and having finished in the top 2/3 of
their respective class."
