And we're off: Round 1

Who Group Time Landing Raw Score Normalised Score Place

Scott--- 3 --9:55:20 --100 --695.2-- 999.6--- 13

Les---- 8-- 9:53.00-- 100-- 693.0 --998.7---19

Joe's notes....

First round has been completed for the Srs...


The Kiwis are doing very well, all 100 landings, Sven got a 9:56.6 for
his first flight! Team score so far is about 2998+, which puts us
solidly in front of the Australians!

!!! (There is a little bet going
between the teams, so there is an incentive).

There is some challenging air, even in the morning. The wind is just
starting to shift, and the conditions get more difficult here in the
afternoon after the wind shift. The wind is quite predictable, light
in the morning from the west, then stronger wind from the NE in the
afternoon, with challenging thermals.

Time for the junior round to fly. I am also working as a caller for
one of the US juniors and one of the US senior pilots. In return, we
are borrowing one of the two tow teams that the US brought along. A
great deal for the NZ team!!!

PS Updated scores, turns out that one of the pilots in Svens round
was originally credited with an over-flight, but the over-flight was
overturned so Sven was beaten slightly... Very poor sportsmanship
here, as the time given to the pilot guarantees an over-flight...

Sven Zaalberg 9th (999.9)
Scott Chisholm (missed the placing on the board, guessing around 11th
with a 999.6)
Les Stockley 19th (998.7)
