Handicap Distance Tasks
I have been following the arguments about Flarm as well as US task setting
with interest. I do not wish to confuse the picture further but I do want to point out that Handicap Distance Tasks solve many of the complaints about standard assigned tasks (including leeching). With HDTs we recognise the glider's handicap in the task, not in the scoring. This means that every pilot can fly at the same time of day, in the same air, for roughly the same time on task. We have been using HDTs successfully in UK rated competition for two seasons with great pilot feedback. It needs a bit of software for task setting and if you want to use See You to score them, there is a second bit of software that prepares the evidence for this. Following requests from a couple of US clubs, I have put a lot of effort into modifying this software to be used with the US handicap system, US Miles, SSA distance calculation rules, and scoring formulae. I would be delighted if more of you guys gave it a look. handicaptask.uk or pm me for more information. Jim ps: If you want to modify your own scoring software, I can tell you how. |
