Competition is a wonderful thing. Look at what lack of it has done for the GFA.
Whoever runs the best and most popular on line cross country
competition will eventually get the numbers. In any case what is to
stop you sending the same file to both?
The zeros and ones don't get used up.
In any case I've always found the only people interested in someone's
cross country flight is the pilot him or her self unless it is
something particularly notable.

I'm with Pam; WHY?????
The wonderful thing about the OLC is that it brings most of us together -
this is why we find it so interesting?
I'm not saying that the guys and gals developing the new site do not have
some innovative ideas - I hope they do
but by diluting the numbers participating erodes what we love about the OLC
- is that what we really want - I doubt it.
Can we see some collaboration?

Why would we need an alternative? I think there is great strength and
interest having worldwide flights in one place.
If you would like to see an alternative system, check out the BGA Ladder in
the UK: http://www.bgaladder.co.uk and click on 'daily scores' for example.
Yesterday, 39 flights in the UK were posted to this site, and only 5 of
those were posted to OLC.
People are regularly doing 750's and the rare 1000, which are incredible
flights given the size of the island, the airspace, and the weather, yet we
see few flights on the OLC so gliding in the UK goes largely unnoticed by
the worldwide gliding community.

Hi;
There is an alternative to the OLC at:
http://skylines.xcsoar.org/
IGC files may be uploaded and scored here. In addition it is planned to
implement a realtime tracking feature in conjunction with XCSoar (v6.4).
Cheers
