I was curious to try to test the idea coming from the Competition
Workgroup that there is an elitist bias to our ranking system. This ought to be
an empirical question, open to analysis. I compiled all the data I could find
from the USHPA website in a spreadsheet with a chart.

I think it shows that there is not a glass ceiling separating the top X from the
paraglider pilots ranked lower.

The spread sheet with all the data and a higher resolution chart is found
here.
