One part of the CWG/LMR proposal is to count each entrant as bringing 1% or 6 points (assuming the maximum was 600 points). US NTSS ranked pilots bring additional points as per the chart below:

Pilots ranked:	Points brought:
1-5	3.0%
6-10	2.9%
11-15	2.7%
16-20	2.4%
21-25	2.0%
26-30	1.5%
31-35	0.9%
46-40	0.0%
41-45	0.0%
46-50	0.0%
>50	0.0%

So the pilots ranked from one to five would bring an additional 18 points each.
The total number of points brought would be the pre-meet value (or validity) of
the meet. The final validity would of course depend on how the flying went.

Now a key difference between this NTSS system and the current one, is that
foreign pilots are not counted other than as warm bodies, i.e. they get 6
points. Currently pilots with high WPRS points (from CIVL) bring lots of points
to the meet in accord with their quality as competition pilots.

Do you agree that only US pilots should count
in US meets in determining the value (pre-meet validity) of the meet?

Last year Jonny Durand Jnr and Carl Wallbank brought 90 of the 600 points to the
Rob Kells Memorial meet and the 560 points of the Flytec Race and Rally. Should
those meets be worth less because we wouldn't count their points brought to the
meet under the CWG/LMR proposal?

Should not Glen Volk, Zac Majors, and Jeff O'Brien not get full credit for
beating Jonny Durand Jr, who btw is currently ranked number one in the world?
How about Jeff Shaprio, who beat Carl Wallbank?
