The one rule i really do not like is that all flights have to be
posted by Tuesday. This is arbitrary and dumb the way it is
implimented.

If you fly on Wednesday you have 7 days to post the flight - not a
problem, but if you fly at a remote contest or site with poor internet
access it is very difficult to get a Tuesday flight posted by 24z on
Tuesday.


Why have 7 days to post some flights and 7 hours to post others?

Why not just give 5-7 days for all flights to be posted?

Hallo Everyone!

I have not written the statement below, despite the fact that is was
attributed to me.

For every flight you want to score for the OLC you have at least 24
hours for submission. The shortest submission period is for flights that
end on a local Monday, because these flight have to scored until Tuesday
2400 local time.

Best Regards

Hans
