2012 September Club
Contest
Sunday, September 9, 2012 - Pre-contest info
This is a picture
from a past gathering of sailplane pilots at the DARTS field ready to launch
their models:
This is one of the DARTS club contests. Basically, a fun contest,
though they at times can be highly competed. Come on out and fly with
us, a good time will be had by all
In Seeded Man-on-Man format, the flight groups for the first round are
chosen randomly. In each of the succeeding rounds, the scores are sorted
in order from high to low and the flight groups are chosen to accordingly
from high to low. Thus as the day progresses, contestants are flying in
flight groups with like performing pilots. This Seeded Man-on-Man format
has been a long time DARTS tradition and keeps things fun as you are
competing with other similar airplanes and piloting skills
Come on out to fly or watch. Spectators welcome!
