US Pilot Categories for the 2004 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:
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."
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.
