US Pilot Categories for the 2003 Contest Year


These are based upon the contest results posted on the SSA server
.

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:


The score sheets frequently just say "Smith", or "Leonard", and there may well be errors of attribution to the correct member of the clan.   The McX and MacX names may be mutilated as well.   Also, for team entries, the partnerships are sometimes listed one way and sometimes the other.

Please help straighten things out, and send along any corrections.
