Contest luck factor

In some contests luck factor exist.
At the beginning of contest organizers set maximum start altitude to
avoid situation where some pilots will climb very high before start by
incident and have big advantage on others . But on request of some
countries the limit was removed . Then two submissions of one of the
Sebastian Kawa ( one of the highest World ranked pilot) requesting
setting start altitude limit was ignored . Yesterday it happened, group
of lucky pilots in our class climbed 3,000 feet higher as the rest was
just seating ducks watching fellow competitors leaving 3,000 feet higher
which represents 30km advantage.
I hope that we will not have more days like this.
