Tim,
How were the calculations for seedings done?.......some of the positions don't add up. Is there a document/ formula/ wet finger in the breeze available? Jim From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:28:13 +1000 Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] AUS Rankings and the CCN Hi Adam, All is revealed on the competition website, http://deltaone.soho.on.net/Benalla2011. Go to the Entry List and the details are there. It works like this: We have a limit of 70, with 10 places reserved for foreign pilots. If on 31st October there are over 70 entries, then the entries lowest on the ranking list (over the 70) will be advised that they are on a waiting list. These pilots will be the first to be accepted if there are any cancellations. If the 10 foreign places have not been filled on October 31st then the unfilled places will go to any excess Australian entries. Any entries after 1st November will be accepted in order of receipt regardless of ranking position. If you are ranked 40 I don’t see how you can miss out if your entry is in by 31st October, and if you then have to withdraw your place will become available for others. I don’t think your scenario can happen, because after 31st October the ranking list no longer comes into it. There is no way that anyone can get bumped after that date. Cheers Tim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Woolley Sent: Thursday, 29 July 2010 19:45 To: AUS Soaring Subject: [Aus-soaring] AUS Rankings and the CCN G'day Tim, Good work to all those involved in the new AUS rankings, hope it achieves what we all would like it too! Got no idea on how to ask the first question below, so I'll just type out the example and let you figure out what the question is! Extremely unlikely scenario, but you'll get the idea.. Max competitors = 60. Someone ranked 100 has put their application in early, and all but the 60th person has entered. The 100th ranked pilot is on their way to the comp, after managing to convince their boss they can have 3wks off to compete properly. The day before the comp starts, the 60th ranked pilot suddenly gets their stuff together and decides to compete. In all reality, I'm sure the CD would allow 61 competitors, but who would be pilot that can only fly HOC? The reason I ask is that I'm currently ranked 40th, and because of my situation this year - I may well be one of these last minute entries and don't really want to wreck someone's hopes or holiday. The second question is, we should be encouraging international entries too so that we can lift the level of our Aussie racing pilots. Are we reserving 'x' amounts of spots for international entries?
