CIVL sanctioned competitions in 2015 (as of October 1st).
In a perfect competition with all the top pilots participating c should be 1.0.
So, what to do with all those other competitions? Winning a competition with
only beginner pilots or a competition with only one participant should give a c
close to 0.0. We use three factors to measure the value of a competition:
1. The quality of the participants (Pq).
2. The number of participants compared to other competitions in same ranking (Pn).
3. The success of the competition (Ta).
Three of the four major US competitions ranked in the top ten. All in the top third.
More on this soon.
