Several competitors received this warning: 'Late delivery of FR'. What are the rules and why is this such a common problem in Lake-Keepit? Can someone explain, please?

Probably due to a requirement in local procedures.
With the expectation of quick scoring to keep the people watching up to date, they may have a short time to get logs in.

We are all grateful for the information provided on those websites, and I understand the constraints of time for the authors, but something is simply not right with history and geography in this statement on the US Team website: https://ussoaringteams.org/

'Sarah Arnold came home with a silver from the last Women’s World Championships in Czechoslovak in 2017'

Local procedures show a 45 minute requirement to turn in logs. First few days can be hectic before everyone gets in the groove. After landing it becomes a crews priority to get the data turned in quickly.

Thanks Sarah,

Posting the links in addition to keeping up with the of tasks and focus it takes to be a world class competitor is above and beyond. Focus on the flying. We'll be ok here and are cheering the whole team on.

I'm looking forward to hearing you and the rest of the team when you present at Little Rock.

Go Team!

Oh c'mon Craig. Arn't you wondering where Sarah has the transponder antenna mounted? :-)

Thank you, Tim and Jock. An interesting reading.
BTW, the AGL height limit of 2000 feet for self-launching motor gliders seems to be a disadvantage as they will lose height while cooling the engine down and storing it away:
7.3.2.a Maximum altitude of climb after self-launch Motor gliders, after self-launching, must stop their MoP not higher than 2000 feet AGL, in the release area of the appropriate class.

Sarah had a decent day and held onto her lead in STD.
Today the club class launch was quite late for the A task, which could not (by FAI rules) be changed in the air.
It appears that Kathy gained a place, but unfortunately Sylvia is still on the way back from a retrieve.
The wind went SE and it smells like smoke now.

It's so quaint the way they call flight logs "traces." I love Australia.

It appears that Day 3 got scratched mid-flight (Scoring SPOT). Sarah was ahead of the pack, did a hard 90 deg towards the Keytah turnpoint and then turned for home. The rest of STD class turned back too. Any info?
