Default fly with ce silver badge question

Erik...

Thanks.....I finally got to the correct sections of the sporting code and
the annex......

The SSA is misleading ....

So basically we just 100 meters to everything...

1100 meters for silver climb.........

3100 meters for gold climb

1% rule for silver distance...but 100 meters higher than that at finish...

etc..
