You've gotta remember, that is a lot of flying. Each round consists of 3
tasks in F3B. Six rounds is 18 flights per competitor. Compare that to your
typical VBC where you get to fly 7 times in two days...

snipped from Jason Werner:
.."a F3b contest ideally will have 6 rounds to allow a throughout based on
FAI rules. That will take 2 days min, 3 days if there are 20 or more
people."
And this is perhaps the crux of the problem. 3 days for 6 rounds with 30
contestants. F3B will collapse due to it's own weight if it ever does
actually become popular enough to attract 100 or so contestants. Give me a
good old simple TD contest any day.
happy trails - Rob Glover
