I think it's worse than that isn't it. If you have 4 days where the
wx allows a task but there are mass landouts on the first 2 or 3 three
days there may be no chance of making up the required percentage score
on the last day. That could mean the contest is over after days 3
even if day 4 is flyable.

Today's weather brief gave a bit of hope for next week so lets hope
that those still here stick with it.

There was even talk of extending the contest another day but there
seem to be no rules that allow that.
