Skärmflygklubben Göteborg invites you to a Swedish Cup in the southwest.
The comp will be held from april 28th to may 1st 2018 and will be FAI cat2 sanctioned.

Location: Ålleberg / Falköping
The classic hill of Ålleberg (flyable on the West or East sides) near city of Falköping, will be our HQ.
If the wind is not suitable for Ålleberg we'll be towing from Falköpings Flygplats 5km from Ålleberg near Falköping city.
All participants must be prepared to get to the takeoff choosen every day by their own.

Comp beginner friendly!
We especially encourage comp-rookies to join as all tasks shall be made so everyone will have a decent chance of reaching goal or at least get away on nice XC flights.

Elapsed time will be used on all tasks and re-starts will be allowed (until the time the start cylinder is closed) so if you bomb out you'll wanna hurry back to TO or get in the towing que...

Pilot Quantity:
We have estimated that around 40 pilots will be the maximum participating amount of pilots due to the towing capacity.
25% or 10 participant spots are held for international pilots until 15 days prior to the event according to CIVL rules for a cat2 event. Beside this 40 pilot limit the Meet Director got the option of give out five ”wild cards” for extra pilots...

Airtribune app: (livetrack + we get pilot logs)
It's MANDATORY to get and use the app. It will be used for check in to the event, live tracking and also to report back and for retrieve.
PLEASE download it in now (you also need to register an account on www.airtribune.com) and try it out and get used to it and try the livetrack before the comp when you go flying.
Please also check all buttons in the app and you'll see the Swedish West Cup as a upcoming event for you. Let us know if you have any issues to get it working and we will help you out.
We will double check at the comp briefing that everyone has the app.
The scorer/meet directors will then also be able to download the tracklogs (TLs will be uploaded automatically to airtribune!) and this makes scoring really simple for us.
