New owner - competition number

I have bought my first glider and picking it up saturday.
It's registered in Germany but doesn't have a competition number, how are they chosen? Where can you register one?

Congratulations to your first glider!
As for competition numbers - most people put on what they like. You probably can register it with your national aeroclub (useful if somebody else shows up with the same competition number at a central contest), but that's up to you.

I dont think anyone in the uk would contemplate using a competition number which they had not registered with the BGA.

By the gliding organization in your country. Check with them as to
how they are given out.

Found a lovely DG 101, price was low but needed a new radio so it's fair.

Just remember, you now do DG take-offs. Set the trim, and leave the
elevator alone as you roll down the runway. It will lift off very nicely
on it's own from the two point attitude. If you try and raise the tail
first, and then try to fly the main wheel off, you will get airborne only
briefly before it bounces back down. That's how you can tell a new DG
pilot every time - they bounce the take-offs. Have fun. It's a nice
glider.

OK.....how the frig does this post relate to competition numbers?!?!

I will be magnanimous and say you were going through threads and forgot which thread you were in......

Otherwise, it is "about spring" in the northern hemisphere, thus cabin fever is rampant and peeps want to fly.....

Have a nice day.....
