I am a new Sportsman pilot (5 contests, 150 hp Decathlon) and would LOVE to have unknowns in sportsman! I agree that they should be kept light (6 figures?) but it would really help to make Sportsman more interesting. On a related note: The lack of a workable free in sportsman is frustrating to me. The allowable K for the free is tied to the current known (to allow a penalty free choice between flying a free or repeating the known) so if you use a free you'd be designing a new program from scratch each year as the k changes. Any thoughts out there on assigning a fixed K for a sportsman free (like the rest of the catagories) and maybe publishing a "suggested free" for the people that don't want to design their own?
