The rule was changed in 2016 but was not applied as budgets had
been already planned and approved. After further analysis with competition
organizers, what was thought to be a good idea seems not to be a good one:
increments are too far apart and sanction fees can be significantly raised.

This means that the sanction for Category 2 competition will not
be 1.5 times the registration fee, but only 1 times it.

Experience shows that tracklogs can be hacked before they are sent
by mail. Bureau proposals: Tracklogs must be downloaded directly by the scorer.
Tracklogs send by e-mail are not acceptable. All tracklogs must be kept on
his/her instrument by the pilot until the end of the competition. I already
objected to this on Basecamp, but either way, I don’t recall discussing this
last part (keep tracklogs until the end of the comp) at our Bureau meeting.

I seriously doubt that tracklogs can be hacked without the
checksum being off. I seriously doubt that this has happened. I'd like to see
some evidence of this. If we run any CIVL sanctioned comps, pilots will be able
to email in their tracklogs. You can email in your tracklog for records, for
example. This has got to be changed.
