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.
