  • Glider handicaps

    From 2G@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 9 08:26:17 2022
    In preparation for our annual Parowan ASA meet I was trying to find a current list of glider handicaps used for the OLC scoring. I came up with this:
    https://www.fai.org/page/igc-handicaps
    but the only handicaps I could find were for the Club class.

    Does anyone know where I can find a complete list of handicaps?

    If you're looking for the OLC handicaps, see https://www.daec.de/fileadmin/user_upload/files/2021/Sportarten/Segelflug/DMSt_Indexliste_2022.pdf

    Thanks for the responses, but unfortunately neither of these references are even close to the handicaps used by OLC. For example, the SSA has the ASH 31Mi/21 handicap at 0.805 while OLC uses 0.826, a 2.7% difference (I calculated the OLC handicap used by
    comparing the posted points to the distance and triangle distances).

    The USA handicaps are inverse of the OLC handicaps and used for contest and record scoring in the USA. The OLC handicaps are already incorporated in the scoring program for the various OLC contests. Here are the list of the current OLC handicaps:
