Fly your Bug in this event I've made many of the times that are
needed to complete the total times.
Introducing the Blind Thermal Contest
The only Thermal Duration Contest that you can compete in from
anywhere in the world!
What is a Blind Thermal Contest?
The contest is a RC thermal duration contest that anyone can
compete in - regardless of where they live. The contest will be
held between August 31st and September 3rd and scores are submitted
on-line. To make it interesting, the format differs slightly from
what you may be used to.
What is the format?
There are 3 classes: expert, sportsman and novice. Any class of
plane may be used as long as it thermals and does not have a motor.
Unlike traditional thermal contests, this Blind Thermal contest is
done in reverse. Before you begin you will get a point total to
shoot for. You will then have 5 flights and 5 landing scores that
should add up to your point target. (Or as close as possible.) You
then submit your 5 flight times and 5 landing scores on-line.
In order to determine a winner, your scores for each flight will
be compared against a `blind pilot.' The pilot whose flight times
and landings are the closest to the `blind' pilot will be deemed the
winner. In the remote chance of a tie, a computer will randomly
select the winner.
