Beach'n Turnpoints

Special Beach’n turn-points - valid only during the Beach’n..

These special turnpoints are intended to give new XC pilots an opportunity to score some CWC points and still stay within easy access of safe landing areas.. Also, the close-in routes will give everyone a good shot at making it back to the beach for the Beach'n..
.
The Pyramids - the two pyramid shaped houses (green roof) up near the rim, just south of Farnahm Canyon. The Pyramids are almost on a direct line between The Butte and Withrow/Lamoin..
.
The Point above McNeil Canyon - it's the tip of the plateau immediately above Beebe Bridge..
.
The Bump in the Road - it's the bump in the road to Mansfield..

Sorry, no GPS Coordinates for these; No problem since this is an unofficial and informal contest..

Totems

..
We won’t use arbitrary and impersonal numbers to identify HANG GLIDER pilots in this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST. We will use bird totems to identify all entered pilots.

Pilots who enter this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST will be allowed to choose a unique bird totem that will be provisionally granted as part of the entry process. The provisional status of the totem assignment will only be finalized by submitting at least one scoring flight during the initial pilot entry season.

While pilots may request a specific bird totem when they submit their entry, only the UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST director can officially assign the provisional totem. Every subsequent season, each HANG GLIDER pilot will have the same finalized totem as before; for the purpose of this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST, each unique bird totem that is finalized will be assigned for life whether the pilot enters the next season or not; finalized totems are permanent and non-transferable.

To request a totem, notify the UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST director on entry. There will be an on-line bird totem list for all entered pilots and their associated totems.

Totems may not be simply reserved; the only way to reserve a totem is to formally sign up for the UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST and request it before someone else does. When a bird totem is provisionally granted that takes the totem off-the-market and effectively reserves it until a scoring flight for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST finalizes the totem’s status.

If a totem is provisionally granted and no scoring flight is submitted for the season that it was provisionally issued, that provisional totem will be released back into the public domain and will be available for another pilot to request. The non-scored pilot permanently loses rights to that provisional totem and it can never be reassigned to that non-scored pilot.

The official UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST totem list will be kept up-to-date with totem assignments and their status.

Personal Note: The totem THRASHER is not available. Thrasher is already finalized and is permanently assigned.

Details

..
As with any flying activities at Chelan, all of the current official and formal CHELAN BUTTE site-use rules, protocol, and regulations recognized by the Chelan Flyers apply to flying in this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST.

Except as noted, each season’s scoring flights must take place on any calendar day between January 1st 2011 and September 30, 2011. Note: EXCEPT FOR FLIGHTS DURING THE BEACH’N, NO FLIGHTS DURING ANY OFFICIAL CONTEST AT CHELAN WILL BE SCORED AS PART OF THIS UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST.

For the purposes of this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST the term “weekend” will be defined as any day of the week that is not a contest day for another official and formal contest (CXCC) taking place on CHELAN BUTTE.

Pilots are responsible for maintaining the airworthiness of their HANG GLIDERS and the safety of their equipment. Pilots are responsible for determining their own personal suitability and capability for flying HANG GLIDERS in this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST.

For this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST, scoring flights will be divided into 4 classes based on the type of HANG GLIDER the pilot is flying: Single Surface, King Post, Topless, and Rigid Wing. Note: Pilots may elect to submit individual flights in more than one HANG GLIDER class and pilots may take as many scoring flights per day as they wish.

All scoring flights for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST must start from any of the available launches on CHELAN BUTTE. Each scoring flight for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST is considered ended as soon as the pilot lands.

Landings in planted wheat fields, other crops, or orchards will not be counted as a scoring flight for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST. Pilots landing in crops may be held responsible for payment of damages to crops; flagrant crop landing violations will result in pilot disqualification for the entire season’s UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST and may result in forfeiture of their CWC Totem.

Pilots may fly open distance, out-and-return, or triangle tasks as the pilot chooses. Approved turn points for out-and-return and triangle tasks must conform to the Chelan XC Classic Valid Turn Point Pairs (NOTE: Special Beach’n turn-points are valid only during the Beach’n: The Pyramids, The point above McNeil Canyon, The Bump in the Road). Scoring of all HANG GLIDER flights will receive 10 points per mile; there will be no bonus miles awarded for out-and-return flights or for triangle flights. All flights will be scored as 10 points per mile. There will be no LZ bonus miles; getting back to Chelan is bonus enough. Note: No multiple tasks per flight scores will be considered for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST.

Each pilot’s points-total for their best three HANG GLIDER flights of the season (season defined above) will be used to calculate each pilot’s total score. HANG GLIDER Class winners will be announced and trophies will be presented after the season’s closing date: September 30, 2011.

Since this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST is unofficial and informal, scoring verification is based strictly on the honor system; Pilots are responsible to calculate their own miles and their own score by whatever method they choose. You fly the flights, you calculate the miles, and you report the results. Cheating or falsifying any flight submission may result in unofficial consequences for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST; Permanent forfeiture of your CWC Totem.

Pilots who have not entered this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST and who later decide to join may do so at any time; if an un-entered pilot has a notable flight(s) and wishes to enter, the pilot may do so by submitting the appropriate scoring data.

Pilots wishing to enter this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST must notify the UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST director at eric@troili.com.
