From the sporting code:
15. 4.5 End of Speed Section
Where the point being claimed is the end of a speed section and the track-log
has 2 points either side of the sector boundary at most 30 seconds apart, then
the finish time will be interpolated from these points (constant speed being
assumed). Otherwise a finish time is taken from the first... mehr

one kilometer short. Christian Ciech 3/4 kilometer short.It's 10:22 PM here now. More news in the morning. mehr

usually measured in fractions of a degree, but last year’s 55.3 degree average
demolished the previous record, set in 1998, by a full degree Fahrenheit.If that does not sound... mehr

Florida: On a 78km flight to goal, I went a different way than all
the others. I had to divert 90 degrees off course because of the starting sea
breeze. My final glide, 15km against 15-20km/h headwind over lots and lots of
white horse fences, was... mehr

When Wesley Hill was scoring the Worlds last night he was
confronted with Scott Barrett's track log that looked exactly like this although
at that time he also was displaying Christian Ciech's track log in addition to
Scott's:
First, he had been told by Scott that he beat Christian into the goal (which has
been confirmed). Second, he has... mehr

Software is nice, but it isn't always correct. When I'm
scorekeeping I often have to manually score a pilot from an obviously messed up
track log when the scoring software can't make the correct calculation. I can
usually figure out the time that he crossed the goal line even if the software
can't.Scoring software isn't perfect and can't... mehr

The first start window was 2:15 PM. Christian Voiblet was first
into goal before 6 PM. Many pilots came in next, and started later. We'll know
who the winner is later tonight perhaps.Photo by Kathryn O'Riordan mehr

What was the most memorable task?The second task was definitely something I won’t forget. I was in the lead and
missed a ‘fly-through’ turnpoint, so I had to fly back 2km to make it and
afterwards I had to push very hard to... mehr
