2012 Barberton Paragliding Open Registration

Registration went as usual (not a PWC usual, but a non-PWC). Some pilots not registered before the event, some pilots not knowing their instruments and some other technical problems. We still struggle to get pilots to register before the event, yet they pitch up with a smile and say "Can I register?", for some reason this will stay with smaller events until it is over-subscribed.

The integration from the PWC web-site into CompCheck worked wonderful. Thank you Ulric and Julien for all the assistance.

Barbeton Paragliding Open is not a World Cup ! (At least not yet !!). It's one the first event which is managed via the Paragliding World Cup website interface.
Registration, Qualification, direct export to scoring software, export to CSV - XLS files, pilot card printing... thoses annoying task that probably every organiser might know are now easyer and just done from paraglidingworldcup.org !
