We've already had 69 pilots sign up for the 2020 World
Championships being held in April and that means it's going to be a successful
competition with this number of pilots. We say the maximum that we can handle is
125, but we've never expected that many to show up. Pilots need to sign up by
January 19th (you don't have to be on a National team to be in the Worlds) so
the window is closing quickly on who are going to be coming to the Worlds.

We're also putting on two Class 1 Open competitions in April at Wilotree Parks,
one the week before the Worlds and one during it. (The Worlds are the combined
Women's Worlds, Sport Class, Class 2 and Class 5 Worlds).

Once again last year these Spring open class competitions at Wilotree Park were
very popular. Pilots love coming to fly in Florida in April enjoying the
marvelous lifting thermals in pleasant air with mild temperatures, puffy little
clouds, light winds and open fields. Pilots are signing up now for these
competitions, despite the fact that they are not under the same tight time
constraints that pilots who are signing up for the Worlds.

We are always under resource constraints (mainly the number of tugs that we can
round up to get every one in the air), so it is always a good idea to register
as early as possible and become confirmed as early as possible so that you can
be assured that you are in the competition. There will be additional resource
constraints during the Worlds for the Wilotree Nationals dictated by the fact
they the Worlds ahs first claim on the resources and we can fit in open class
pilots only after their needs are taken into account. The World's pilots launch
first, for example.

At the moment, we can handle all six competitions and we'll see what the future
holds. We hope to be able to accommodate open class pilots in both the Paradise
Airsports Nationals and the Wilotree Nationals. For sure there is no issue with
the Paradise Airsports. It is a bit iffier for the Wilotree Nationals, so you
might want to sign up early to reserve your spot (need to be confirmed). We'll
keep you informed.
