Statement:

“ On the final day of competition, a complaint was lodged that alleged the Australian Team had gained unauthorized access to undelayed data from the official competition tracking system. This was the system that all competitors were compelled to use. Following an investigation, a penalty of 250pts was applied to all Australian Team competitors.

Four protests were subsequently lodged in both support (further penalties including disqualification) and defence (removal of the penalty). The jury deliberated for 6 hours and called on the assistance of a number of IT experts that included the system designer. The ultimate outcome being a 225pt overall penalty to all Australian competitors. The penalty was levied for a team action and as such, does not infer infringement by individual Australian pilots.”


Are the protests available for spectators like us to read?
