Selection and entry fee
Remember, the event is a Sports Class only competition. That means no EN-D gliders and no 2-liners. We want to have a fun week where everyone feels like they have a chance of scoring well, regardless of what they fly.
And also remember, we will be giving away lots of prizes at the end, all through our famous 'names in a hat'. There will be Naviter Oudies, Hypers, Flytec instruments and more. But you have to be there to win.
Slovenia is a beautiful venue and the flying is awesome. We look forward to flying with you here!
