Selection Criteria for the Nordic Open:
The selection is in accordance with FAI section 7 rules. The organizing country is Denmark. The other Nordic countries are considered “other nations” under the section 7 rules.

There is no other quota for other nationalities outside of the Nordic Countries.

The female spots will be allocated to men for a total of 28 if they are not filled. The pilots are given 7 days to make payment for their entry – and will then revert to the second round of selection if they fail to make payment. The selection criteria will begin on April the 1st
2. Weeks 3 to 6 are then open for selection to general Nordic country entries, according to same WPRS. If Nordic pilots with 0 WPRS or equal points register, they will be ranked by time of registration.
If a selected pilot fails to meet the payment deadline, they shall revert to the waitinglist, and must contact the organizer directly for re-selection.
3. After week 6, selection is open to all other nations, according to same WPRS.
If a selected pilot fails to meet the payment deadline they shall revert to the waitinglist, and must actively contact the organizer to be considered for re-selection.
