World XContest scoring: what’s NEW for 2019?
The poll from the last week is finished. Result? Total 434 people voted, there was also an inspiring discussion under the poll. Thank you all for your inputs!
252 of you (58 %) voted for the change. But what change?
Above all we appreciate simplicity and freedom of choice as a principle. We believe this is the key factor of fun for the widest group of pilots.
The strongest voice we have heard from the discussion is “𝓉𝓇𝒾𝒶𝓃𝑔𝓁𝑒𝓈 𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝒷𝑒 𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 𝒸𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒𝒹 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒶𝒸𝒸𝑜𝓇𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓁𝓎 𝒶𝓌𝒶𝓇𝒹𝑒𝒹”. And we agree.
NEW IN WORLD XCONTEST 2⃣0⃣1⃣9⃣:
new task type FAI triangle with closing distance max. 5%, coefficient 1.6
new task type Free triangle with closing distance max. 5%, coefficient 1.4
These new task types will be added on top of current tasks types. In other words, it’s going to be 5 task types in total:
- Free flight, coef. 1.0
- Free triangle 20%, coef. 1.2
- Free triangle 5%, coef. 1.4 (NEW)
- FAI triangle 20%, coef. 1.4
- FAI triangle 5%, coef. 1.6 (NEW)
In 2019, you can fly the same closed routes and you get at least the same points. But once you close the triangle to 5% or less, you get extra bonus (+0.2 points for each km).
Les “vrais” bouclages seront récompensés, bonne nouvelle!
