The Bogong Cup will cater for traditional Cat2 AAA (Open) type pilots but also the ones below that level. It's these pilots that I think we should encourage to “step up” from the A and B sanction comps they fly now. As an incentive, I’ve offered ½ the total prize money to B Grade and the other ½ to Open. I’ve also offered free entry to the comp for the most improved pilot in the 2010 Corryong Cup. Sure, B Grade is a crappy name but if the bucks are there for the taking, who cares what it's called!

The bottom line is that I see a decline in pilot numbers competing at the highest level in Australia and I want to do something to reverse that.
