Competition categories or classes?

When I was shooting in pistol competition there were three classes.
 Everyone started in C or Novice class. If you finished in first or second
for a total of three times you moved up to B or intermediate class. When
you finished there in first or second for a total of three times you moved
up to A or Open class.

Could something similar be done in Indoor flying? The advantage the flyers
have over the shooters is the use of timers. In the shooting the matches
were win or lose double elimination matches. In indoor there could be a
three win limit or you could have time classifications. I was thinking it
could be different times for different classes. Once you win or place in
A-6 with 5 minutes or more you move up and then when you do the same at say
7 minutes you would move up to top class. EZB could be 15 and 20 and so
forth. I know it would be a scorekeeper's headache, but I remember how
proud I was when I shot my way out novice. I think the same would be the
true when someone flew out of novice.

Just thinking out loud....
