Observations on timekeeping

One timekeeper provided at each pole

Prize-giving and issue of results - confirm organisers provide results with full names, nationalities and number of juniors

UK domestic models were being flown during the Stonehenge Cup and the scoreboard and printed results showed these integrated with the World Cup results. This was misleading and even confused the organisers at the prize-giving. The prize-giving was held on the field at the end of flying.

Any incident or accident

None
