Antonio -

I agree that the temperature, pressure, etc, should be taken into
consideration. Where do you obtain the spark length data for the different
air conditions?  Do you recommend that the contestant or the contest
director convert the contestant's data into a  final spark length for the
contest?

Just a note: spark or streamer length depends on the conditions of the
air. Humidity makes a big difference, pressure (or altitude) too, and
also temperature. So, these things should be mentioned when claiming
spark lengths.
