And: Weather Forecasts That Hang Gliders and Paragliders Use and at:
Basic rules:
Briefing with weather report will be held every morning in the office close to the camp.
After arrival at the take-off each pilot choose their own route and launch time.
Turnpoints will not need to be declared before flight and pilots can make decisions about route during their flight, according to the actual conditions.
After return from the flight the track will be scored.
The scoring system is simple and is based on the idea of many XC contests (OLC, PGweb XContest...).
Director of competition has right to stop the day at any time in case of worsening weather / under safe level in flying conditions or in case of an objective reason.
In this case tracklogs will be optimized and scored until the time of stopping.
Scoring rules:
Distance over maximum 3 turnpoints: 1 km = 1,0 point
Distance over a circuit (out and back and triangles): 1 km = 1,2 points
FAI triangles: 1 km = 1,6 points
Flight will be scored as a closed circuit if the distance between starting point and finish point is less than 5% of the total distance of the circuit.
For the final ranking each pilot will be scored on the three best flights.
Minimum distance: 5 km
