What Tim said!

Lou


18 m and open canceled for the 20th. 15 m on the grid, but on

the paved
runway because so much rain came down overnight and until

about 11 am that
the grass runway is to muddy to use.

Forecast of 2-3 kts lift to 4000-5000 ft and 25 kts wind. It's

going to
be a fun day : )

Dave, is there a Team Cup going on? Can't find mention of it...

I suggest you watch the video again. I did not hear him saying he was unhappy with fellow pilots' tactics but rather he was unhappy with blue days that kill individual flying.

No, he's unhappy that he's getting beaten.

Kawa's earlier WGC video shows that he's being consistent in expressing his dislike for the blue days since it doesn't put the emphasis on individual pilot performance. Just 33 pts off 1st place. (his teammate is in 3rd)

Too bad they can't call a POST, that would spread the field out a bit

Sebastian's comments regarding his frustration with leeching are spot on. Unfortunately, in the real world of blue skies and WGC scoring you can be a winner on welfare.

Someone with more IT acumen than I would know if the present state of tracking would lend itself to a scoring adjustment based on whether a pilot was doing his "share" of the leading.
