From Richard Westgate
The Wessex Paragliding League will shortly be appearing on the National XC Web site, entry to this league is (of course) free but a problem exists; the software writer, John Stevenson, hasn't got the time this year to write extra code to separate entries to the Wessex and National Leagues, so your flights will appear in the National League whether you want it to or not. There is no requirement to pay £5 to enter this league, although your name will eventually appear in red at the bottom.
25 May 05
From Peter: "I expect our Wessex XC League to become a subsidiary table to the National League table very shortly. This will mean that you need only make one entry and it will automatically appear in the Wessex League as well. It will also have the benefit of track graphics, etc. Because this is imminent some of the notable recent XCs have not been entered by their pilots."
Note: The £5 fee only applies to enter XCs into the National league, it will be waived if you only want to enter a flight to the Wessex section of the league.
All are welcome to send in their flights to Pete R.as we still don't know exactly when the new system will go online.
Rules
Amended 10km rule: After a pilot has logged a flight further than 15km
(including past years) that pilot can not enter any flight shorter than
10km, with the exception of out-&-return or triangle flights. All
previously entered flights stand.
Provisional rule for the Lemmings "defined flight" trophy (for out-&-return or triangle flights): Thermal only, ie. no ridge or coastal flights; minimum leg 2.5km.
THE PREFERRED FORMAT FOR ENTERING FLIGHTS IS EXACTLY AS THEY APPEAR BELOW.
