It's a relic of a time when you had to "join" ESL to participate in contests. In other words, you paid your money, were given an ESL number and could then pay to fly.

A rule change took place a few years ago to eliminate the membership requirement. Now, you are automatically a member if you compete in a contest.

I'll remove that column from the standings pages beginning next year.

See you tomorrow at DB!

Don't worry Pete! That history is not going away. I still have it in the ESL database. Perhaps at some point we can publish a ESL seniority list and make some of you feel really old!
