Hi Stanley,

Since there is a team award, I think you should put the team entry on the registration form.

Dear Stanley,

Rule of selection is already in place. Our league rule stipulates that :

2.2 Participation in international F3F contests

The league winners for the current year will automatically qualify for representing Hong Kong to compete next year in Viking Race, Typhoon Race, or any future world FAI F3F event. However, the qualification is only valid for joining one international contest. If more than one international contest are available, the pilots next on the line will have the priority to choose to go. In case if a qualified pilot relinquishes his right, the pilot next on the line will be qualified. The qualified pilots must confirm whether they will join the international contest two months in advance so that pilots next on the line can prepare to take up their positions. All qualified pilots must be local pilots who permanently live in Hong Kong.

It would not be a situation that first come, first serve (sorry to mak and donny).

However, the above statement is copied from from league rules 2010. I cannot remember the rules for 2009. To be fair to everyone, we shall keep our agreed arrangement.

Any view from others fellows ?

Hi Stanley,

雖然未知小弟有否資格,但亦想先報名...

今年去維京2010的三位選手,其實唔應該當佢使用咗出賽權.因為根本無人肯去( or have time to go)。為咗回應法國主辦單位,及避免香港損失國際地位.好辛苦先揍夠三名機手代表香港,佢地出錢出力,都係想保持香港的聲譽,所以我建議2010 Typhoon Open 只需跟足League 2009的名次排位,各位意見如何?

其實TR2010舉辦日期在8-10/10/2010,能否用2010年度成績計算(截止報名限期前的成績計算)?

若然係咁, 肯定要比心機操練, 增取出賽機會

Old league rule is more or less on the same principle:

The league winners for the current year will automatically qualify for representing Hong Kong to compete next year in Viking Race or any future world FAI F3F event. However, the qualification is only valid for joining one international contest. If more than one international contest are available, the pilots next on the line will have the priority to choose to go. In case if a qualified pilot relinquishes his right, the pilot next on the line will be qualified. The qualified pilots must be local pilots who permanently live in Hong Kong.

Typhoon Race should be considered as an international contest based on this principle. As stipulated in the league rule, it is NOT first-come-first-serve but based on the result of 2009. Local pilots should enroll 2 months before.

In order to maintain the enthusiasm of local pilots, I'd suggest increasing the quota to 25 for local pilots and 50 in total.

If the race runs in MOS left slope and keeps zero waiting time, it is not difficult to run more than 4 rounds per day as we did in Wales. Even at LHW 2 years ago, we could still run 3 rounds for 40 pilots with a late start at 11am. Therefore, we'd have 4 rounds per day at MOS and 3 at other slopes. It is good enough for any international contest.

首先，我在 League 2009 排 20，所以如果本地參賽人數只有 15，我暫時是未有資格參加 TR2010 的；另外 Stanley、 阿麥和 Eric 長老因已使用了國際賽的參賽權去 VR2010，所以他們 TR2010 的參賽權也會排 League 2009 名單的最後。

Stanley、 阿麥和我亦為 HKRCSS 委員，有份參與制定 F3F local rules。

伸報完利益，以下是我的意見：

底線：
1, 規則一定要遵守，不可因人而異地執法，不可選擇性地執法，不可隨便修改以付合部份人的利益，Local rule 2.2 指的是來年 (next year) 的國際賽，所以 League 2009 排名用於 VR2010 和 TR2010，以及單一出賽權 (However, the qualification is only valid for joining one international contest.)等，無可爭議。

2, 規則可以修改，但不影響 2010 年之國際賽出賽權。

個人意見：
1, 2.2 的本意，是公平原則，避免一、兩位賽員獨佔來年參加國際賽的位置。但 VR2010 主辦單位給香港的三個位置，據我理解並無人爭奪，所以並沒有〝獨佔〞的問題；另外如果 Stanley 等考慮 VR 和 TR 二選其一而使香港沒有人出賽 VR，卻是非常可惜。

2, League 2009 後期我們多了很多新加入的參加者，其中不乏非常好技術和有 F3F 潛質的朋友(非客套說話)；另外 League 2009 只賽得 5 場，部份更在斷斷續續或勉強 4 rounds 下完成。我們用 league 排名來定參賽資格的其中一個原因是選出技術好的賽員，但 League 2009 似乎未能十足達成。

3, 即使我沒有資格參加 TR2010，我也不讚成為今次 TR 改例，否則有法等如無法。

4, 逃稅犯法，但可以避稅 ，在情在理，相信增加本地參加者人數至 24 人 (League 2009 的總參賽人數) 是唯一可行的方法，如果可以使用傘佬的場地便可減去降落時間，60人賽3天應能完成10場左右。

5, 看來 Local rule 2.2 有須要修改的地方

多D人玩, 多D人開心 !

Hello,

My original thought in writing down the rule is for the qualified pilots to join one international contest outside Hong Kong, this is very obvious because we fight so hard to get the qualification is to allow us to go overseas to participate in prestigious international event. So, in fact, the rule should be written like this:




If this is the case, and since TR2010 is holding in Hong Kong locally, the qualification in 2009 shouldn't be applied to TR2010.

Anyway, it is my mistake to write down the rule less specifically, so I don't argue with you guys this time.
So according to this current version of rule, I have only one chance to go for international contest, then I would choose TR2010, Viking Race 2010 is just a contest that I would go personally without the regard of 2009 league ranking.


OK, back to the issue if the rule is as my original thought that set for joining one international contest outside Hong Kong, then since we still have quota limitation even though the future TR contest may be held locally in Hong Kong, we still need a qualification, so I would suggest to further modify the rule to allow the qualified pilots to join one more international contest held locally in Hong Kong. So the rule should be further modified as:



What do think guys? We can improve the rules which will be applied to next year 2011 qualification.

多D人玩, 多D人開心 ! x 2

By the way, we have set the quota limit for TR2010 to 50, although practically it is better be kept at 40, so there are flexibility that most if not all local pilots can join TR2010.
I would expect that 25 of local pilots at most plus 25 overseas pilots can be accommodated. Therefore, please proceed to register first; the final list will be sorted out according to the real situation when time approaches.

Hi Stanley,

Eric及燦叔的Registration form 已e-mail給你!

Thanks!

個 registration 的 submission 問題，間 hosting company 搵來搵去都話唔係佢地既問題，我個 form 兩年前 Hong Kong Open時都 work 既，依傢又要 login & password，但連我自已搞來搞去都唔知個 login 和 password 係咩，試來試去，全新edit個 form 都一樣，搞到我幾晚都唔夠訓。唉！算啦，你地註策就直接寄資料比我，遲D再研究個問題在那裡！

In this case, so do I

Stanley, are you sure there will be 25 pilots from overseas ? I bet it's unlikely

Dear fellow pilots,

Would you be interested in helping to design a logo for the Typhoon Race 2010 in Hong Kong?
A good looking logo for TR2010 is neccessary to attract more visitors to our site.
The logo will also be printed on the contest T-shirts or wind jackets, and also on the trophies.

Your help is very much appreciated!
If your design is selected, we will award you with a contest T-shirt in return.

Cheers!

個網上註策工能終於搞掂，你地可以上網註策啦！

再問一聲，有冇飛友有興趣設計個 logo 比 TR2010 用啊？

Hi Stanley,

小弟好奇問句:比賽日期係Oct8-10, 2010,但Banquet日期係Nov10, 2010...係咪有玄機?
