Default USA Proposed Rule Change on Start Time Reporting

If the IGC does not require reporting, I am OK with adopting their policy. Is that a first in the US? ;-)

At the end of the day, this is a small thing. I can't understand half of the radio calls anyway.

Start times are reported by the team captain, or designee, to the officials.. It is not done over the radio.
There is a lot of intrigue during the start period as teams try to figure out what the other guys are doing. Our team captain in Musbach (Dianne) was quite good at figuring out some of the code. It was helpful to get a call saying "our friends are going in 5 minutes". But- that is a different game than we play here.
FWIW

As of WGC 2014 in Leszno (and maybe Finland) there was no start time reporting.

In the past, yes, you called your team captain and he submitted a paper start time to the scoring office.

In Leszno - none - they took it all from the IGC file. The reporting rule is gone.

In Finland we reported our start times to the team captain.
