The contests will have the following structure and rules:
1 - The scoring will be based on OLC. Pilots who don't participate in OLC can send me their igc file and I'll score
it. Click here for step by step instructions how to submit flights to OLC.
2 - All tasks will be pilot selected speed tasks (PST) with a pre
determined route or Assigned Area Tasks (AAT).
Minimum scoring distance 100km.
3 - This year we will try to use a start gate so we can all start together.
4 - For the novice XC pilots or low performance gliders we will recommend a
shorter task along the same route as other pilots, and thus achieve higher
XC speed, giving them a chance to win (generally the shorter the task the
faster the speed).
Experienced pilots are encouraged to help novice pilots by calling their
thermals.
5 - All flights over 100km will be scored, including landouts and straight
outs. The
scoring will be based on handicapped OLC speed, rounded to the nearest MPH. (OLC calculates the speed
based on distance
from release to landing, with altitude penalty). In case of a tie the longer
distance will win.
6- Daily results will be published on the HGC web site and hgcgroup .Both
pilots score in 2 seater.
7 - No need to sign up, but please send a note to hgcgroup the prior day to
let us all know who is planning to participate.
