    It would really be helpful to see what's been taken before trying to come up with a new one. Otherwise, I guess I'll see if the inquiry email address responds with a list.

    thanks, JJ

    Hank,
    Thanks for the fast answer. Unfortunately, I am unable to find an 'Other Resources' link on the Sailplane Racing tab. The "Racing Rules & Information" button on the Sailplane Racing tab takes me to a page with sections called "Other Information" and "
    Contest IDS" but following all the links offered doesn't get me to a list.

    Sometimes it seems like there may be a different ssa.org versions with different site content For some reason, I see different web page views on Chrome, IE, and Edge. Chrome doesn't have named tabs on the homepage (it uses a drop-down list) but Edge
    does have tabs. IE's homepage is garbled. I also see different views based on being logged in or not. After trying every combination of the 3 browsers and log in status plus hitting all the links I could find... no luck.

    If you have the list itself I'd appreciate if you could send it to my email: REMOVEjohncj525@gmail.com (removing the REMOVE first).

    thanks, JJ

    That's interesting. I was going to ask the same question about contest ID's. So here I am on the ssa.org site. No "Sailplane Racing" tab, but I have "Racing".
    No "Other resources", no "Contest numbers", No "Online list".

    Am I looking in a wrong place? I've tried it on Edge and on Chrome. No luck.

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago. The Racing Rules & Information page has a Contest ID section but there's no list. It instructs you to contact the SSA office to see what's available. There's a registration page but, again, no list; you give them
    your preference and they respond with what's available. This is a change from the previous site (and, yes, I tried coming thru the "members" link but no joy there, either).

    I doubt many members try to access this functionality (I've had my contest # for almost 60 years!) so it may only now being surfaced as a problem.

    Do what UH says, but start at https://members.ssa.org If you have trouble logging in there, e-mail webmaster@ssa.org

    Tom,
    I just got off the phone with a friend who gave me detailed instructions while he was looking at the website. My same attempts failed when I tried to go to the members.ssa.org to log in (page not found). Magically just now, that site appeared on my
    browser and I got to the information. Try this:

    SSA.org --> Racing --> Registration (takes you to members.ssa.org login - which is a different log in from the main SSA.org site) --> Sailplane Racing -- dropdown to Other Resources/Contest Numbers.

    What a convoluted mess! However, I think the members.ssa.org site was temporarily down in my earlier attempts.

    Thx! This worked for me. It looks a little dated: refers to available two-digit numbers (and that's all it shows) and the posting date at the bottom of the list is 21 Apr 2021. I also saw a few IDs I'm pretty sure are taken and used regularly by pilots.
    But it's more than I was able to find a month ago.

    Thanks, John. To me it looks like it takes you to the same site that JC Garrison pointed to above - the old version of the SSA website. I wonder if the information is up-to-date.
