For the last couple competition days, we hope to do live commentary. There will be daily summary videos each night.
The sailplane tracking systems (mobile and InReach, no Spots allowed) and GlidePort.aero are working extremely well making each race very fun to follow, he http://www.sgp.aero/usa2017/race-cov...ontestID=28476 Sean 7T On Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 8:09:39 AM UTC-4, Dan Daly wrote: On Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 7:23:37 AM UTC-4, Sean Fidler wrote: SGP USA begins today at Seminole Lake Gliderport near Orlando, Florida.

Is there live commentary? Curious; the second finisher got a finish penalty for finishing at 267m ("Finish too low 267 m - Penalty 14 sec"); yet, the local procedures document on the website, para G2a, says minimum finish height is 183m? Also, with a penalty of 14 secs, at 2 secs/m, suggests 7m plus the free first 5m, so 12m low?

This is the first US contest with mandatory high resolution Tracking. Thanks contestants. I know it's another device to configure but Wow! I watched all three hours in playback mode (5 minute delay for animation smoothing). It was the most exciting glider race I've ever seen from the ground!
Thanks for a fun afternoon in front of the TV. Lane Bush XF
