In the contests I've flown we had a definite grid time, which occurred
well before the sniffer launches. If your plane wasn't there at grid
time, you went to the end of the line when you arrived. We also would
never let a tow plane wait. If you weren't ready to launch when the
tow plane came and you were number one, you'd be pushed out of the
grid and go to the end of the line. Further, no one would ever be
allowed to push a glider across an active runway after the launch had
started.


These things aren't being done in this video, which is why I called it
disorganized and slap-dash.

By your reasoning, one could argue that this launch was efficient and
resourceful.

Looked like a fun time to me.
