Ranking List Sanction FeesChanges to the IGC Ranking List Sanction fee structure from 1st January 2010During the last few years we have been discussing changes to the IGC Pilots Ranking List (IGC RL) competition sanction fee system. The system we have been using since the inception of the Ranking List was intended to be simple and easy to administer, however the system is now more mature and we are ready to change to a sanction fee structure based on the number of entries in the competition. The changes have been approved by the IGC Bureau with a basic fee of 4 euro per entry with a minimum of 100euro. For many smaller competitions this change will reduce the cost of their inclusion and we hope this will result in many more contests being included in future years.
