but in all likelihood the NAM forecast is correct, looking at the big picture.
NAM would have us fly into Georgia following I75. Tomorrow NAM predicts
convergence up highway 301 to Jessup, Georgia. mehr

From yesterday's goal:

Billo responded to my screed about the screwed up scoring system that they are
using at the New South Wales Titles. Of course, it's the paraglider version of

CIVL Plenary recognized that it wasn't working out. They also have only one
start... mehr

The Australians continue to mess around with GAP scoring. Last
month they pulled out all the leading and arrival position points from the
Forbes Flatlands. Now at the New South Wales State Titles they have combined
OzGAP (how appropriate) with leading points (to make their own unique scoring
system). OzGAP (arrival time points) doubles the... mehr
