US Pilot Categories for 2003

From the SSA WWW Server: Updated December 28, 1999

"Each year the SSA compiles a Pilot Ranking List from results achieved in SSA-sanctioned competitions during the previous three years. Using this list, pilots are placed into one of four Categories, according to the following scheme:

• Pilots whose Pilot Ranking score is greater than 92.0 and pilots who within the previous three years won an SSA Medallion in a sanctioned National Competition (Open, 18-Meter, 15-Meter, Standard, World and Sport classes) are designated as Category I.
• Other pilots whose Pilot Ranking score is not less than 86.0 are designated as Category II.
• Other pilots whose Pilot Ranking score is not less than 60.0 are designated as Category III.
• Other pilots whose Pilot Ranking score is greater than zero are designated as Category IV."
