Sunday we ran a task with rain chasing and ahead. It was stopped
when the leaders caught the rain ahead. The GAP parameters are well in force in
the PWC these days so the day was devalued to 330 pts. When we are still that
far from goal the software seems to realize, correctly perhaps, that it has no
idea how people are going to finish, so the scoring is extremely compressed: 50
pts covered the top 90 pilots who spanned just 4 kilometers in the air when the
task was stopped. (A couple of high pilots gained a little more distance as
everyone got credit for 4:1 glide.)
Monday was called early at HQ for rain. Today -- Tuesday -- we went up, called a
task, and waited for it to blow in. It never did. At 2:00 they called it. A few
of us ran off in a light tailwind and had lovely short flights. A task would not
have been possible.
Tomorrow and Thursday look better, fingers crossed.
