For the first time in a Paragliding World Cup event, the organisers have wished to
present to the spectators a demonstration
of the principal competition rules. This task, the results of which do not count for the
overall results, consists of a triangle formed
by the following three turnpoints (B),which the pilots will have to go around three times
:
The world elite present in Morzine-Avoriaz-Les Gets will launch at twelve noon and
amateur pilots at 1 P.M.
They will then head to Avoriaz, from there reach the plateau of Nyon by overflying the
green slopes of the Pointe de Ressachaux,
and then they will come back to Mont-Chéry; they will do this three times before landing
in Morzine.
The turnpoints will not be photographed; instead, an appeal will be made to each
pilots fair play for the actual overflying.
A controller, positioned at an undisclosed location, could nevertheless attest to each
pilots actual passage and eventually sanction
those who break the rules.
As the mountain bike - trial World Championships are held in Avoriaz during the
preceding week, the organisation plans to have a
commentator explain to the spectators, both in Avoriaz and at the goal line, how the
friendly competition evolves.
By VHF radio contact they will be able to ask certain pilots to comment on the flight
conditions and explain their strategy.
The ranking is by order of arrival and the spectacle at the finish line, indicated on
the ground by a white banner, constitutes the official opening
of this great week presented by Morzine-Avoriaz and Les Gets.
The organising committee invites you all to lift your eyes to the multicoloured sky.
The PWCA and the organisation are counting on the presence of all the competitors.
