Notice ~ new ODx rule for the 2012 edition of the Chelan weekend Classic:
new ODx rule for 2012: The ODx (Open Distance exit) rule for this UNOFFICIAL AND INFORMAL WEEKEND CONTEST is to allow for a pilot's total Open Distance flight and subsequent back-tracking exit to a safe or convenient landing zone. The intent of ODx is to give pilots safe and convenient options for landing while maximizing their scoring miles; a pilot should not be penalized for making good landing area choices.
For example, an open distance flight to the edge of Banks Lake will be scored as straight line to the furthest distance flown even if the pilot chooses to back-track to Simms Corner for a safe or convenient landing. Or a flight out to the power lines will be scored as Open Distance to the power lines even if the pilot chooses to return to the soccer field for a safe or convenient landing. ODx can also be applied to incomplete Out-And-Return legs or incomplete Triangle legs. ODx return-to-LZ miles will not be added to the flight's score.
Totems~CwC 2012
For 2012, the following 2011 Totem guideline is officially waived; All Provisional Totems that were issued and for which no scores were submitted are still considered Provisional and are still assigned to the pilots who originally chose them:
Guideline waived for 2012: 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.
