Observations on timekeeping

One official time keeper per pole augmented with a competitor second time keeper

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

On-field results posted on large manual scoreboard. Pictures of score board posted on Facebook after 5 rounds and after fly offs.

Any incident or accident

The flight time of Mr. Stanislaw Skibicki (F1B) was out of his own initiative corrected after having read his altimeter data since his timekeeper lost the model from sight but continued timing. In F1C the participants decided to use a DT fly off although the organiser set the max to 10 minutes. Therefore the times are according to the Sporting Code.

Protests

No protests
