US Contest Pilots,

The SSA Contest Committee has issued guidance to contest organizers with regard to COVID-19. It is available to all interested parties on SSA.org at the following link:

These are challenging times. The situation remains very dynamic with large and growing numbers infected people along with expanding restrictions on movement and gatherings that extend into the summer. The Contest Committee is working with organizers - especially for National Championships - to manage the situation. As decisions are made we will make further announcements on SSA.org and on this forum.

For the Contest Committee,

Key takeaway:

"The Contest Committee will announce on April 15th whether we will be cancelling all FAI Nationals for the 2020 season. Because of its later start date, we will wait until May 15th to decide whether Sports Class Nationals will be held.
"

Then you might as well assume that the contest season will be cancelled because the data on deaths will, hopefully, peak on April 15.

The Auxiliary-powered Sailplane Assoc. (ASA) will make a final decision concerning this year's Parowan motorglider meet on June 1. It has a scheduled June 16 start date.
