Good morning

Well I hope I'm the newest expert now on the Notaumatic scoring system, so please be kind to me.

The flight order is as follows;

P27, Intermediate, Clubman, and P&F's across all three rounds.

Pilot orders for each schedule attached. Best 2 from 3 will count with all but P&F schedules using RAW scoring.

Gates will be open from 7.45 onwards, Pilots briefing will be at 8.45 with first flight at 9am.

Once round three is complete, there may be an opportunity to take advantage of some mentoring.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, safe journey.

Round 2 tomorrow! Wishing everyone luck again! Hoping you all have a fantastic day and have great weather 🙏

Thanks Yazz

Hello Brian. Im sure its difficult but is it fair for 1 pilot out of 4 to go first in 2 out of the 3 rounds?

On Brian's behalf here are the results and scores from todays competition. 

To Whom it may concern

I have a number of photographs from yesterdays competition to add to the "Gallery" who do I send these to?

Hi Brian

Send them to Graham Gooch.  He'll put them on the website.

Hi

Just looking at Garry's post at #19, it cannot be correct that in a four person group pilot 1 flies first on round one and round three. 

Surely the first to fly in each round if there are four on a group should be as follows on a simple basis 

Round 1 Pilot 1 
Round 2 Pilot 2
Round 3 Pilot 3

Or on a more mathematical basis

Round 1 Pilot 1 
Round 2 Pilot 2
Round 3 Pilot 4

This more mathematical basis is calculated as follows. 

Four pilots/3 rounds.  Pilots should rotate by 1/3 each round meaning 1.33 movement per round. On that basis 

Round 1 Pilot 1 
Round 2 Pilot 2.33 rounded to nearest Pilot 2
Round 3 Pilot 3.67 rounded to nearest Pilot 4

Further, with a contest with 2P and 1F a quick look should assess if it is actually fair.  Garry had to fly first for the P and for the F.  Not ideal and not within the bounds of fairness.
