1) The league will run every month from March through to October

2) Two competitions to be held every race weekend- weather permitting. In the unlikely event that the weather forecast looks bad for the whole weekend the competition will be postponed to the next available weekend. If that weekend is also cancelled, then the tasks for that monthw ill be cancelled.

3) The same scoring formula will be used throughout the season which will be either PWC or GAP2002. Each task gives a maximum of 1000 points to the winner provided both nominal time and distance have been exceeded.

4) Cumulative scoring. To win the league, it is not necessary to fly every task. since the points each pilot has accum,ulated win half of the tasks flown will be used. If a pilot has flown more than half of the tasks, then the best points will be used.

5) If there are an odd number of valid tasks, then the scores are taken from one more than the half tasks flown.

5) There are 3 categories to the competition based on the safety rating of the gliders.

6) Should a pilot change their glider to a different rating glider then the catergory glider that the pilot is entered into is based on the highest rating of a the glider flown in the league during the season.

7) At the start of each day there will be a weather briefing before the task is set.

8) The cost to compete in each task is $10 which is refundable should the task be cancelled. If pilots have not downloaded waypoints beforehand there will be levy of $5 to download waypoints on the day or at the start of the weekend. This levy may be waived at the meet directors discretion. Pilots may elect to buy a season pass fo $125 which will cover all tasks run by the Northern California Cross Country League. Email jug for more details.

9) Waypoints and software for downloading waypoints can be found at this website.

10) All pilots must have completed the pilot registration and waiver before they compete. The waiver can be found on this website

11) All pilots must fly with a serviceable 2m radio, a serviceable reserve parachute and a GPS device that is able to record their tracklog.

12) Cables for Garmin 76s, Etrex, 5030, 5020, 6020 and 6030 cables will be supplied by the meet director to enable tracklog downloading. If you use a different GPS device you should bring your own cable to enable trackoog downloading.

13) RULES OF THE AIR. All pilots must obey the rules of the air: first pilot in the thermal sets the turn direction, pilots entering the thermal must approach from the outside, normal ridge rules. Failure to observe standard rules (including no cloud flying) will result in the pilot scoring nil for the task and not being allowed to compete in any more events.

14) A protest committee of Eric Reed, Josh Cohn, Tom Moock, and Chris Hilliard will deal with any disputes.

15) If at the end of the league two pilots have the same score, the winner will be the one who has scored higher in individual races.

16) Tracklogs in KML format may be submitted by email to the meet director using the GPS Dump software on the download page. Tracklogs must be submitted by midnight on the Monday following the last task.Failure to submit within this time will results in the pilot being awarded minimum distance.

17) A task is invalid if no pilot makes the first waypoint or the minimum distance whichever is the shorter.

18) Relaunches are only allowed if the pilot fails to make the first waypoint.

19) Retrieves beyond goal should not be assumed. Pilots flying past goal should arrange their own retrieves.

ng formula will be used throughout.

mulative scoring: To win the whole comp, it is not necessary to fly in every event. Instead the points each pilot has accumulated in hal
