Default Tracking from WGC in Poland

Organisers are currently learning how to make proper use of live tracking. It requires significant lead time to set this up properly for an event like WGC.

Technologywise, the folks in Poland are using a similar OGN-based approach like at the SGP in Chile last winter (the best way to got in my opinion). But live scoring is different at an WGC compared to a Grand-Prix competition.. Some implementations of this have been done in the past, but as an organizer you need to have the necessary IT knowledge in your team to make use of it. This has not been the case with previous competitions.

For the WGC in Germany in 2020, we are currently running some tests already this year to make sure everything works at the worlds (e.g. at current Lüsse competition: http://lilienthalglide.de/wp-content...vescore_1.png).
