From the FAI web page. The second sentence fascinates me.
F3J - Thermal Duration Gliders
This class is very popular as it is a single task event with simple
rules. The competitors try to keep their models aloft for exactly 10
minutes and land as close as possible to a designated spot.
Excuse my ignorance I am new to the world of soaring. Are they
launching like this in international competition? Sounds fun.
Here are some pictures from the last US F3J team selection contest:

Someone else might have some better pictures to link to. The answer is: Yes,
that is how F3J models are launched.
