Pilot list revised (see first post). Entries currently still available. Judging rota to follow

Hi Mike, 

Apologies, I forgot to reply to your message. I'm fine to judge as required

Thanks

After some consideration and despite the recent pilot withdrawals I intend to run a 3 round competition to avoid further pressure on judges and CD. We can maintain decent breaks and if there remains sufficient time after the formal competition we can set up a flight list for pilots to have further flights. If pilots want feedback from these flights I am sure this will not be a problem.
On this basis here is my suggested judging rota.

A27
All rounds: Peter Jenkins and Kevin Caton

P27
Round 1: Pete Scoles and Jim Fallowfield 
Round 2: Pete Scoles & Keith Jackson
Round 3: Pete Scoles & Mike Pole

P&F
Round 1: Pete Scoles & Peter Jenkins
Round 2: Stephen Simm & Steve Smithey Round 3: Pete Scoles & Peter Jenkins

If there are any concerns regarding the above please let me know here ASAP.

Darren kindly offered (some while back)
to assist me with the compulsory noise and failsafe tests which is much appreciated.

As per last year there will be tea, coffee and biscuits provided free throughout the day but you will need to bring your own lunch please.
Charging sockets are available in the workshop. 
The site has proper ladies and gents flush toilets and a warm club room in case of rain.

Due to the judging rota in P27 I consider that P27 scores must be normalised in addition to the usual P&F.
A27 can utilise raw scores.
If there are any concerns with this including any technical issues with Notaumatic please advise but I consider it is the only way to achieve fairness in P27.

Mike Pole

Following my previous post #34 it has been brought to my attention that we cannot use normalised scores for P27 at Leicester as the scores could not then be added into the overall league table results. 
 

Darren Dorgan

Still happy to help with the noise & failsafe checks  :)

Hi Phil,
Sorry but there is no Matt Smailes on the final list.

Following the above here is a new flight order, only P-27 is affected but only in a minor way due to Matt not flying.

Andy Ellison

Thanks. Are we re-examining the 4th round decision?

Mike Pole

Hi Andy,
No sorry, not on this occasion for various reasons mainly to do with judging but if we finish early you can have another fly. Also, Kevin and Jim are planning to fly an unknown to entertain us, again if there is time.

I'm pretty good at unknowns myself, though I suppose the difference will be that they know whats coming next.......unlike mine.
See you Sunday!
