About the Hollister League
-
The 2010 Hollister League will start 4/24/2010 and end 5/31/2010. We will compete every Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.
- The goal is to fly cross country and have fun in a competitive environment by creating an informal series of contests with minimum rules. The idea is to give incentive to both novice and experienced pilots to fly XC out of Hollister.
- There will be emphasis on assisting novice pilots with flight planning, strategies, and helping them out if they are struggling on course. Radio communication for this purpose will be encouraged. Experienced pilots are encouraged to help novice pilots by calling their thermals.
- Mentoring in the BASA two-seaters will be available for those who would like to fly with experienced XC pilots.
The contests will have the following structure and rules:
- The scoring will be based on OLC League points, which are based on the fastest handicapped speed achieved in a 2-½ hour window. The optimum window is automatically calculated by the OLC software. Pilots must fly at least 2.5 hours for maximum score. The score is available under the OLC-League tab in every flight.
- Pilots must submit their flights to olc and get scored to participate. IGC approved loggers are not required as long as the logger is sufficient to score on olc.
- All tasks will be pilot selected speed tasks (PST), or Assigned Area Tasks (AAT) typically with a 20 miles radius, or a combination of both.
- At least one turn point must be made to score. The first turnpoint will be close enough to allow novice XC pilots to participate. Relights, landouts and straight outs are scored as well.
- In case of a tie the longer distance will win. Both pilots score in 2 seaters.
- Water ballast is optional, but has 5% penalty unless it is dumped early enough before the scoring is calculated.
- Daily results will be published on the HGC web site and hgcgroup .
- No need to register, just show up at the informal pilot meeting.
- There will be a briefing every morning at 10:00 AM, unless notified otherwise.
