Default US team silence

Here's the lousy machine translation of Kawa's message to the organizers:

I'm sorry, but bitter words have to go down. 90 % of people don't want to take the tour alone and rape the director of the competition. This one gave up and deleted the sports slots for pilots who can't fly on their own. Slots make starting 2-5 min behind the leader counts the same launch time as leader. You can't let someone go and follow it. Now we have: Flarmy without competition mode, mandatory traking, earth tips, no slots on startup, no marker event on startup. It causes a distortion of the professions competition which theoretically would have to identify the best szybowników. Instead, guided tours with guide and radio-controlled models. The competition is to cut the launch line 2-5 minutes after competitors. That's it. No need to read weather, plan, work on the road. Let the leaders do it. The situation is deteriorating year after year after the introduction of flarmu and lack of mandatory competition mode. A whole range of electronic tracking specialists has been raised and those without colored gliders on the screen in szybwocu can't make any decisions. How far away are we from the idea of gliding? Formerly Digital transmission was banned - now deleted, flying on clouds banned - now this ban ignores, help from outside forbidden - now constant communication with earth. And There's a lot of complaints in the air that you don't want to fly on your own. Yeah.
