Hundreds of people around the world are trying to follow the scores and then we see on scoreboard "unsportsmanlike behaviour" with penaltys that actually change scores in every class, even one medalist is dropped to 4th place.

AND NOT A WORD OF EXPLANATION. Just business as usual. Here are some nice pictures from the grid.


And now people are asking about this via their FB page and yes you guessed it, they are deleting comments.


Well this is awkward:

Google translated:

"Now back to the tracking systems:

One of them was tried out here in the competition and enabled all pilots to be shown with a delay of 15 minutes. At the end of the flight, this was reduced to 0 min.

Here is an example from the club class of the last day of the classification. The tracking time is shown at the top right. This picture then appears 15 minutes later on our displays.

Unfortunately, it now turned out that the Australian team, represented by *********, used the "raw data" for their pilots without delay.

The team captains rated this as "unsporting behavior". In the following hours there were four protests from different teams, the outcome of which we wait and then publish. (First of all, there was a point deduction of 250 points for every Australian pilot on the last day of the evaluation).

Our opinion is: "We don't just see the bypassing of the time delay as individual, sporty trifles. It affects all gliding sports in terms of fairness and sportiness, which we are committed to."
