Aught to try that for contests. Every one start at once. :-)

The Slovak text suggested that one glider "nearly crashed" and landed
sooner then the other gliders. No details of the incident were given,
that I could find anyway.

Oh...hadn't noticed that.

However, there are nine in the picture right at the bottom of the page,
looks like just after take-off.
One had to land with a damaged horizontal stabilizer.
