Bummer.
After virtually watching you land out we've been waiting to see the
Utah/Idaho ridge flight...

The flight should be available on the May 3rd OLC page, just zero
score.

nice flight tim!

im curious, does anyone know the reason for the tuesday rule? why is
there any limit at all to submitting a flight? perhaps the end of the
year so they can determine the annual winner, but i don't see weekly
prizes...

I beleive to encourage pilots to post within a reasonable time, before
next weekend, to let them know other pilots flights/rankings and I
suspect to allow some time to sort out problems before the next
weekend.

No time limit would be no way to run an online contest. You would have
some pilots saving their best flights to the day before the contest
closed and submitting them then.

The Tuesday rule is a bit too hash for some places 'out west.

I believe the Tuesday rule exists so that the "Bundesliga" contest can
be scored. This is a competition amongst the German soaring clubs that
is hard fought and very competiteve! I think the fastest 3 hours of a
flight on Saturday and Sunday are scored for a club from their
airfield. Lots of beer rests on the weekly outcome!

You can have your flight scored by contacting the OLC (at) ssa (dot)
org [from Dan, see above]
