SC PG Competition

Paragliding Open Class Technical Working Group

This working group was established in February 2010 to address the issue of prototype and open class paragliders being eligible to fly in Cat 1 events.

Introduction:

The organisers of the 2nd FAI Asian PG Championship, 2010, Japan asked for a number of changes to the original bid document to be accepted, including a slight date change and the currency for entry fees. The following changes were accepted by the CIVL Bureau, subject to ratification by the Plenary in 2010.

The Canungra Cup (PG XC event in Australia) was organised as a two round competition this year and the organisers applied for each round to be sanctioned as a separate competition, each with a set of non-overlapping dates. They subsequently sent in results for a single competition covering the combined dates and these were inadvertently input to the WPRS in this form. After complaints were made, the matter was referred to the Bureau which decided that the results should be split and input to the two separate competitions, as they were applied for, sanctioned and published on the FAI Competition Calendar.

The PG Nations ranking of the 24th October 2006 is published here. This ranking is being used to set the team size for the 2007 PG Worlds in Manilla.
