I wrote that there is no more requirement to finish in the top two
thirds of a Category 2 competition here:

In your previous article you missed one point. The new criteria
are:

3. 4.2 Additional requirements

3. 4.2.1 Class 1 - A pilot has to have;

• Been ranked with at least 20 WPRS points in Hang Gliding Class 1 ranking in
the three years prior to the entry deadline of the Category 1 championship.

• Participated in one or more FAI sanctioned competitions with 30+ pilots during
the three years prior to the Category 1 championship.

The idea behind the last point is that the pilots should have at least some
gaggle flying experience before entering a Cat 1 comp.
