It appears that Day 3 got scratched mid-flight (Scoring SPOT). Sarah was ahead of the pack, did a hard 90 deg towards the Keytah turnpoint and then turned for home. The rest of STD class turned back too. Any info? Craig Visibility was decreasing. Kathy and Sylvia also chose to start early, but had the rug pulled out from under them at the thrd TP. All are on their way back. Jim |

Hey Jim how was the visibility on the way back?

Do the WWGC rules allow the task to be cancelled after the gate is open? Was the Steward consulted?

Anything can be done on safety grounds. Viz was down to less the 0.5km so totally unsafe. Also pilots were unable to see to ground ahead and plan for safe out landing in the event of not getting lift. I am sure all pilots are disappointed, but none would have been happy to continue on those conditions.

Sounds like a good call.
BTW, the tracker replay is great, especially with a ctrl-shift-plus to get the numbers big enough to read. Anybody know what Dist, Tsp, and B% are actually showing? |

Push Help in the upper right of the tracking box. Thanks, the help is helpful. Dist indicates the task distance in Km since exiting the start sector For the day before yesterday with turn points, that seems great. For yesterday with turn circles and a minimum time, is there some heuristic calculating task distance and speed before the whole flight is known? |

But they did continue...they were all at or nearly to the farthest Turnpoint. Most made the return trip home which was probably only marginally shorter than finishing the task.

A mismatch between the Task and the actual conditions is a normal part of the game.
The only condition for cancelling a day after the gate is open is clear evidence of unfairness. Perhaps this was the case, but no justification has been published, so far. |
