The controversy arose in this case because the announcement was made
at 7:00 AM on Sunday morning to move the contest to an airport three
hours drive away from the one where most contestants were already
rigged and preparing to fly in an unofficial scratch contest (having
believed the original one to be canceled). This was also not the
airport where the contest had been already been scheduled. Some only
checked the website around 8:00 AM, making it physically impossible
for them to make the 10:30 pilots meeting.

Two contestants (including the one who made the change) flew at the
newly designated site and want their thousand points! Many others
think this is rather unfair, since only these two out of fifteen
contestants made the hastily changed venue.

Some of us don't really care, but are enjoying watching the tussle!
