This is probably the first international gliding competition in which the number of officials equals the number of pilots entered. The Event Director is Roland Stuck, and his team consists of Eric Mozer, Pierre Laulhere, Alexander Georgas, Miro Valek, and Rick Sheppe.
The officials arrived yesterday and have been working all day today on logistical matters, both large and small. The largest one so far is that we may not have two towplanes for all the scheduled race days. We have been discussing how we can make it work with just one, but so far we haven't come up with a plan that makes sense. We may have to stand down on one of the scheduled days and use the reserve day (December 9). It seems strange to have a rest day in the middle of a five day contest.
Our other tasks include getting the scoring and tracking systems working, installing glide computers and negotiating with our fellow airsports for practice time. The skydivers outnumber us by at least a factor of 10.
