Inter club league - 2008

The Inter-Club League is intended to encourage competitive cross-country flying on a less formal basis than National and Regional competitions, involving pilots at all levels of cross-country competence. Special emphasis is placed on the performance of Novice pilots in an effort to encourage Cross County Competition. Full rules here.

The competition is split into Novice, Intermediate and Pundit classes with one pilot from each class flying for each competing club.

Below are the dates and participants for the Inter Club League in 2008. As you can see this year the club will, once again, be hosting a round at Gransden Lodge during May.

The pilot classes are defined as follows:-

Novice

Any pilot who, by 1st April of the League year:

• has not flown in a rated competition, (Regionals, Inter-Services or Junior Nationals)
• has not flown a 300k qualifying for Gold Distance.

Novices may fly any glider with a handicap of 100% or less (that's an LS8) and must not carry water ballast (So any of the club single seaters qualify).

Intermediate

Any pilot who by 1st April of the League year:

• has not flown in a Nationals level competition, (except Junior and Overseas Nationals)
• has not flown a 500k qualifying for Diamond Distance.

Pundit

Anyone can be a pundit. If desired a pilot may fly in a higher class, e.g. a pilot qualifying for Intermediate status may be entered as his club's Pundit.
