Open distance every day ! ... A dream comes true.
The idea of the XC Open competitions is to fly with friends, have fun, fly far and beat your personal best distance in a safe XC area. In the Manilla XC Open 2005 65% of all competitors flew their personal best distance - even many of the top pilots ! => Lot’s smiling faces! :-)
For the XC OPEN WORLD SERIES of paragliding competitions we choose for our pilots:
| • All single XC-Open competitions will be FAI cat 2 comps. |
| • The best safe flying areas on our planet The most consistent conditions to fly far and safe, not the time of the most radical thermals and strongest winds |
| • Good infrastructure for easy retrieves |
| • A Tour Calendar with dates outside the main flying season in the northern hemisphere, so that you can get additional flying time |
| • Open distance tasks or open distance via a turn point – you will get the maximum out of your flying day – not the fastest pilots wins, but the one with the longest distance |
| • All scoring is done life and online. All you need to do is upload your tracklog to the xcopen server and your score will immediately be visible to the world |
| • 8 day competitions with the best 4 days of each pilot taken for the scoring |
| • We will have winners of the whole XC Open Series as well. 50% of the flown tasks will be taken for the overall scoring. Even if you don’t fly in all three of the 2007 events, you still could be the overall winner of the XC Open World Series. |
| • 150 pilots can take part in each event (for the XC Open final 2007 in Valle de Bravo Mexico the maximum number of pilots is 125) |
| • We score: Open Class, Serial Cass (DHV 2-3 max), Ladies and Masters (+50 years) |
• For the team score (4 pilots, the best 3 score each day) Ladies and Masters get a bonus of 25% |
