Competition objectives
Competition Structure |
For competitors to have fun, learn, gain Australian national ladder points and/or WPRS ranking points
As a result of an FAI bureau decision, the Bright 321-2008
Paragliding Championship will now only offer one FAI Category 2 round, this round to extend for the entire scheduled length of the competition. The competition also has an HGFA AAA sanction.
There are no scheduled rest days and no reserve days.
Pilots who had only registered for 1 FAI round (under the previous arrangements) now have the option to:
1. Only fly the days that they had registered for (in which case they would only have scoring tasks for those days, and not for the whole competition),
2. Register for the entire length of the competition,
3. Withdraw from the competition and recieve a full refund of any monies deposited.
Pilots seeking further clarification on this issue are to contact Karl Texler via brightvt@netc.net.au
